How To Install Windows 10 Iso
After upgrading to nightly builds, I'm finally able to use the GUI and see changes reflected. So far, so good.
But, even when enabling Guest access, I cannot enter the shared folder. I can see it, and that's about it.
The wizard created user account and user group devvi_000 (my Windows 10 user account gives this name in c:users-folder. The full name is devvienuis@email.provider
I tried connecting but it just fails. Any ideas what I could do? I enter my username 'devvi_000' and the Windows 10 password (same as on FreeNAS). But nothing
On console I see the following text appear whenever I try to enter the share:
smbd[12345]: matchname failed on IP
and also a general warning: ntpd plugin: ntpd_do_query returned unexpected data (ik=0x0; ik_num=0; ik_size=0)
Any ideas what I'm overlooking? Surely it can't be this complicated

Windows 10 - Clean Install Guide
Install From Iso File Windows 10
This is a step-by-step guide written for beginners and tech savvy individuals alike; it outlines the method I used to completely reinstall Windows 10 on my brand new XPS 13 9350. I've had to do this three times already on this machine alone.
For those of you who prefer this guide in a video format TechChris made a great, easy-to-follow one here: YouTube.com TechChris similar to the one below
[EDIT 4/26/2016]: After evaluating the performance of my 256GB PM951 drive I have come to the conclusion that the performance of the drive is not affected by having the BIOS set to either AHCI or RAID mode. I have not researched the different impacts on battery life. You can read more about my testing in the post 'A Closer Look at AHCI vs RAID'. Until I know about the impact on battery life I can't truly recommend one setting over another, but until then I intend to keep the content of this guide the same. I have removed steps about AHCI mode that remained redacted, and removed the notes about steps that I had restored in order to make the guide appear cleaner. I removed the [EDIT 1/20/2016] note due to conflicting information. I also performed some general light editing and sentence restructuring.
[EDIT 11/14/2015]: The configuration of my machine is the XPS 13 9350; i5-6200U; 8GB LPDDR3 1866MHz; 256GB NVMe PCIe SSD; QHD screen (3200x1800)
Get yourself a USB flash drive with at least 8.0GB of storage space. I used a USB 3.0 flash drive, but any others should work fine.
Create a Windows Recovery Media on your USB flash drive. To do this, download the 64-bit Media Creation Tool here and save it to your desktop, for convenience. Run it --> choose “Create installation media for another PC” ; then click “Next” --> Choose your language, “Windows 10 Home”, and “64-bit (x64)” Architecture ; then click “Next” --> select “USB flash drive” ; then click “Next” --> select your USB 3.0 flash drive ; then click “Next”. The tool will then download and install the program on your USB. This will take a while, so get up and stretch your legs. Maybe do some cleaning, or use the time for Step 3. When the tool is done, it will show you a window that says “Your USB flash drive is ready”. Click “Finish”.
Make sure to back up all your files that you need to an external drive of some sort, probably something other than USB flash drive with the Windows Recovery Media. Re-installing Windows 10 will completely erase your hard drive, so back up all those embarrassing snapshots of you at that Christmas party.
After the Windows Recovery Media tool has completely finished in step #2, create a new folder on the flash drive and call it something like “Drivers” for convenience. The Media Creation tool may have renamed the flash drive “ESD-USB”
Download the x64 version (currently called “f6flpy-x64.zip”) of the driver for the PCIe SSD here and save it to the “Drivers” folder you just made on the flash drive. This is the driver for the XPS’s hard drive (storage).
Unzip the the driver file within the 'Drivers' folder you just created.
Download the driver for the WiFi module here under the “Network” tab - it’s currently called “Dell Wireless 1820A WiFi Driver”. Save it to the “Drivers” folder on the flash drive.
Now comes the fun part. Keep the USB drive plugged in. We are going to boot from the USB flash drive. So - Restart your computer, but be prepared and press the f12 key over and over once you see the Dell logo appear. You can stop pressing f12 once you see the words “Preparing one-time boot menu” in the upper right corner of the screen. The boot menu will then launch.
Once in the boot menu again, use the arrow key to navigate to where the USB is listed, and hit the Enter key to launch from the flash drive.
A window for the Windows 10 installer will pop up against a blue screen. If you have the QHD, 3200x1800 resolution screen model of the XPS 13 you better go get your reading glasses because the text will be small as shit. Click “Install Now” ifyoucanseeit;P .
Accept the software license agreement by and clicking the checkbox, then click “Next”
Of the two options now shown, click “Custom Install Windows only (advanced)”.
If your computer is like mine, you should be greeted with a window that is searching for a hard drive to install Windows 10 to, but no hard drive will be listed. Click the icon/button that says “Load Driver”
There will be a popup window that says something like “To install the device driver…”. You’ll now want to Browse the flash drive, find the “Drivers” folder, select the driver for the PCIe SSD you saved in the folder (it is probably the only thing listed). Click “Next”.
I can’t remember if there are any intermediary popups or windows here, but just click “Ok” or “Next” through them until the driver starts installing. This will take a few minutes.
After the driver has been installed you will be brought back to the “Where do you want to install Windows” window. In the box that was empty before, there should now be several drive partitions listed. Select each partition and click the “Delete” icon/button. This will create a “Drive 1 Unallocated Space” partition in the box thing. Continue selecting all the other partitions that are not “Drive 1 Unallocated Space” and delete them. When you are done, there should only be the “Drive 1 Unallocated Space” with a size indicative of the SSD of your system (I have a 256GB SSD so had a “Drive 1 Unallocated Space” size of 238.5GB).
Select the “Drive 1 Unallocated Space” and click “New”. Leave the MB size the same (mine was 244197). Click “Apply”, then on the next window click “OK”, then click “Next”. (Windows has created a special partition for itself, leave it be).
Windows 10 will now start reinstalling. This process took about 7 minutes for me. When done, you can choose “Express settings” or “Customize” (or whatever the button is) to set up Windows 10. Then there’s about another minute’s worth of waiting.
Congrats! You should now be back in a vanilla form of Windows 10 without any of that useless Dell bloatware! The next thing to do is to navigate to the “Drivers” folder and launch the .exe to install the driver for the Wifi module.
Once you are connected to your WiFi network, open Windows Update and install all the updates it finds. You may need to restart several times. After each restart, go back to Windows Update and “check for updates” again until it comes back with “Your device is up to date”. You may experience screen freezing after the computer restarts. This is a problem I am currently investigating. If you don’t know how to access Windows Update, click the Start menu button and type “updates”, for example. Then click the “Check for updates” option that appears from the search results to open the utility.
This would be a good opportunity to create a restore point, in case something happens in the future. Type “restore” in the start menu to quickly find the program.
In the System Properties window for the system restore click “Configure” --> select “Turn on system protection” --> set the slider to something like 5% --> click “Apply” --> back at the previous window click “Create” and name it something.
After the restore point has been created I would suggest powering down your computer and then powering it back on. Download and open up your preferred internet browser and head back to Dell’s driver download page. You should now download and install most of the drivers they have here. The drivers I installed were specifically and only from the tabs “Chipset” and “Network”.
You made it! This is all I have to offer now it terms of help. There is screen freezing I was able to triage and reproduce, and this only occurs after the computer has been restarted, but doesn’t occur when the computer has been started from a completely off state. Happy XPS’ing!!!
