@Humbert: I hope W10 v1803 is working fine for you..

Yes it is. Thanks so much for your help. For some reason Windows Update is still broken. I had it set to automatic updates and it tried unsuccessfully to install some updates to 1803. I'm thinking the best thing to do is just use WUB and do upgrades your way. What do you think?

Just curious. Where did you find the information concerning the use of Dism++? That was instrumental in the upgrade.

Found it in Sergei Strelec ISO and was instrumental for smooth in-place upgrades testing on multiple PCs including my own.
If you know how windows works use expert mode in Dism++ to cleanup further junk. I also second the use of DriverStore explorer from Majorgeeks site since Chef Koch's Github repo was deleted by MSFT after acquisition of Github. He's moving everything to GitLab.

@scarface I just tried your OCT lite edition of W7, I did remove some SxS backups and recovery things thus saving another 400MB and made it smaller. Used NTLite to achieve this. You should try it.
Its damn fast and makes me switch to W7 but sadly I don't have certified drivers.... Boots from VM in just 5 secs and shuts down in 2 sec like Linux on NVMe drive.

if winre.wim was still present, It was probably an oversight. you shouldn't find it in the windows 10 above.
I still have the October edition of w7 and I can't find it. the recovery folder in system 32 is empty. Same thing for the backup in winsxs. Maybe you were mistaken.

You deleted WinPE recovery setup while W7 recovery image for reset/quick refresh is present. Its just 260MB not a big deal.

Save the file as an xml file and copy it to NTLite free version's preset folder for final touches.

Saved it to Mega drive for future usage. I'm still using W7 October edition for legacy apps.

Hopefully, The new version of windows 10 will be available tomorrow morning, since new hotfixes will be rolled out in a few hours.

A few months ago, I had a fiber optic internet, but in here it's not the case any more. Actually, there is optic fiber in the center of Saint Etienne, but not where I live, at least not yet. I know that shadow.97 and Vasudev have good internet lines because India and Sweden are modern countries, but in France, besides dense areas, internet lines are a bit slow. And as far as my upload speed is concerned, it's a nightmare. That's why I don't upload as many movies as before.
If you have twisted Arabic thrillers, you can upload them on the forum.
Here is my current internet speed...


A few years ago...(At least, in Saint Etienne, we are closer to nature. Less pollution, less noise and less stress). If you are willing to post your internet speed, the topic below is made for that. I would be curious to know the upload speed of Maher, in Palestine.

Not anymore scarface, I disconnected the FTTH because during heavy downloads the speed is capped to 50-100Kbps instead 1MB/s which I pay for and I was fed up with crappy excuses. I am using mobile data from couple of months and experience is not good.

I'm trying to understand. Did you mean "I've been using mobile data for a couple of months and we must face the facts: the results have not been conclusive"?

Note that I used my phone as a modem, and it's very efficient. I remember I could get 4mb/s in upload. 40 times faster than my current speed. Unfortunately, it's limited to 10Gb per month. After that the data transfer rate is reduced to 15kb/s...

My battery doesn't last even a day with mobile hotspot. My speed hovers between 10-15Mb/s on my old 3G phone. I can use 1.4GB/day and along with that I have 5GB addon pack.
