Upgrade straight to 10041


Recommended Posts

Hi folks - I had the previous tech preview installed and then restored back to Windows 8.1.  Going to give it another shot but do I have to have the first tech preview installed and then get the update or can I go straight to build 10041 from Windows 8.1?  If so, will installing from the Windows Insider site give me the most current build or the old one?  

 

Thanks a lot!

I put 8.1 on a spare drive (due to audio issues), ran the windows update file from Microsoft's site, and it went to 9926, then after a couple of Windows updates, went to 10036.  Just don't know the correct way to fix the mail/calender issue, so I went back to 9926.

steps:

  • Open Powershell as administrator (by right-clicking on the windows button).
  • Copy and paste this in the window: Get-appxprovisionedpackage

only get "Get-appxpro" is not recognized when I run that.

 

, anyway, on virtual machine, I decided to uninstall the mail/calendar/people app in 9926, then updated to 10041.  Cannot install mail, still gets error then also.  Think I may just skip the 10041 build.  :(
