I installed build 10240 and it asks for a seperate USB disk with 8gb free to do the install.  And to save that USB disk if I ever want to restore it to it's previous state.

That's great to hear--will be interesting to see if that's how the RTM version issues out on July 29.

Thanks DanieNTX.

I do have a duo (mini and normal sized ports ) USB drive to try it but I am still scared since mine was a gift from my sister who lives in the US and I have no support for the model yet in Brasil.

If I brick it, it's gone so, two more questions:

Did it keep the original recovery partition?

Do you think that after the install it is possible to recover to the tablet's original Windows 8 factory install?

I have been researching for backup and recovery articles for the DV8P and found none about a successful recovery after upgrading to the W10 Tech Preview.

Thanks again and best regards!!

(Parenthetically, wait 3 days until Win10 officially issues and then upgrade to that instead . . . .)

Will do!! 1 Day left ...

Thanks!

Installed Win 10 yesterday on my DV8P.

So far everything's fine... except two major issues:

1. 3G sometimes doesn't work or takes ages to connect.
2. Sometimes I can't wake the device from Standby (it doesn't matter if connected to WiFi or 3G or nothing).

Can anybody confirm or knows a solution?
Dell doesn't offer specific Windows 10 drivers.

Hi Stuermera,

Did you install the oficial release or the Tech Preview?

Did you get the notification to upgrade thru the 'Get Windows 10' reservation app?

My model is the WIFI only but will try to find something about the drivers.

On the Microsoft Windows 10 launch page they say there is a Microsoft Answer Desk that might help .

It's really bad that Dell hardly ever acknowledeges the questions we, their clientes, post in these  forums...

Good luck!!!

No, I installed the official one via WindowsUpdate yesterday - and yes, I did a reservation about a month ago.

I've got the 64GB model with WiFi and 3G ingetrated.
I assume it has something to do with the 3G chipset driver or WiFi - but sadly Dell offers no support for Windows 10 (so far).

This model will be supported.   Working to correct support.dell.com.

I'm wondering which version of Windows 10 it will upgrade to.

If it will be Windows 10 Home, are we enable to enable Bitlocker?

As I read from the comparison chart, Win 10 Home edition doesn't have Bitlocker, remote desktop, and some other useful features.
