Will the anniversary update be available before its official release? I know sometimes the gold master versions are released several days early.
It seems, that is is literally behind the corner.@WZorNETThe final RTM RS_1 build ("Anniversary Update") distributed on July 26-29 through OEM Online Software Order Center and to partners!
This is great news
Join insider program either fast ring or slow ring and you will get it early. I would not count on the ISO file becoming available from Microsoft until after the August 2 official release. Of course it will be out there "in the wild" from non-official Microsoft sources.
Yes with hashes you can compare with originals on technet. I got Vista, 7, 8 and even 10 final RTMs before the official release. Actually this is the first time it is taking so looong, but I would prefer to install it on weekend, when I have time.
Yes and the updates themselves take soooo long. I think the last major update took several hours for me. And I have a pretty fast machine.
Soo, any luck?
I think most of us would prefer to wait for it from an official channel. I know I certainly would.
True, but if we are able to obtain the legit hash and compare it I see no issue.
Call it piece of mind, I guess. It's coming soon, so I don't see an issue with waiting a few days.
