julesjonesIt had finished installing and restarting itself by the time I left for work this morning, which gave me high hopes. And indeed, this evening it could find no further updates. It then popped up something asking me what browsers I wanted to install, and I selected "tell me more". It was being a bit slow pulling up the page, so I made the mistake of wandering away to start dinner. By the time I came back, it had loaded my Gmail account instead. Bafflement ensued. I couldn't get back to the "what browser" screen, but in the course of trying, it announced that it wanted to restart to finish installing some updates. So I told it to go ahead.
When it came back, the next thing it wanted me to do was register it on Asus's website. That was fun, not. At least in the course of this I got to see the desktop, which looks vaguely sensible.
It's now creating the recovery drive. Once it's done that, I will point it at the Win 8.1 upgrade site. Assuming it doesn't run off to do something else first while my back's turned... I'm a trifle distracted at the moment by the Commonwealth Games opening ceremony.
Ah. Recovery drive completed. :-) And I found the "eject hardware" icon first time!
