   Good luck with that.  The W10TP.ISO I downloaded was not actually an ISO file,   
   per se, and I was able to install it directly from whatever archiver they used   
   with WinRAR.  Here is what I got:

   2014, 6:31:03 AM 2.93 GB (3,155,288,064 bytes)   
      
   and I have updated it several times since.  That said, I could have burned it   
   to a disc and installed it, but chose not to.

   Thus far, I don't like it.  I've kept up to date with it and still have a   
   problem playing videos with the Media Player or VLC.  I wrote them about it   
   and still have no reply, so I have no idea what, if anything, they are doing   
   aboout it.  I removed the drive I installed it on from my system and am back   
   on W7.
