    I just signed up for the Windows Insider Program so I can get a pre-release version of the forthcoming 2017 Fall Creator's Update for Windows 10 (Despite the fact that MS warns that the pre-release version may be buggy.) Ah well, I can always re-image my C: drive if it turns out to be a mistake. :)

    Get me coffee and no one gets hurt!

          Microsoft is warning you it may be buggy? And you are still thinking of installing it? All Microsoft products seem to be pretty much unusable until at least SP1! :laugh:

              Sorry, it was a bit far fetched. 3F0 is an error code in case a bootable device cannot be found. For example [Error 3FO no bootable device found - Microsoft Community](https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows\_8-update/error-3fo-no-bootable-device-found/1c73925d-38e6-4c5f-b71e-e6a18cd655f1)

                  Darned right! The suits know what they are doing, and lowly software guys don't. That's why the suits make the big bucks! :omg:

                      Is there anything in particular you're curious about regarding the Fall update? Regardless--that's what VMs are for. I've had one running for years now, off of an early Insiders version that must've gone through 20 different in-place upgrades by now. As they come close to release, new builds come out rather rapidly. Right now however, it's been a few weeks there's been anything new.

                          You're braver than I am if you're willing to use this on an everyday machine. If it's a junker you don't mind rebuilding...then go right ahead...

                            I don't rebuild. I re-image. It takes 10 minutes tops.

                              I love some of their products: Excel is a wonderful spreadsheet, VS is the best IDE going. But ... I just wish they would do three things: Fix bugs instead of adding "features" nobody wants; Test the damn stuff properly before release rather than after; and listen to users when they say things MS doesn't want to hear, perhaps even admitting, "OK, that was a mistake, we'll scrap it and improve what did work" :sigh:

                                      Why do they call it Creator's Update? Is this some marketing jargon to speak to our inner child that wants to play with Legos, Tinker Toys, and Lincoln Logs? Marc

                                        Why do they call it Creator's Update?

                                        I don't know :confused: I've often wondered myself.

                                          I just signed up for the Windows Insider Program so I can get a pre-release version of the forthcoming 2017 Fall Creator's Update for Windows 10 (Despite the fact that MS warns that the pre-release version may be buggy.) Ah well, I can always re-image my C: drive if it turns out to be a mistake. :)

                                          Either way, I have something you can do for me. I found a micro-SD chip in the parking lot the other day; could you put it in your computer and tell me what's on it? :suss:
