Microsoft is projected to launch the new Windows 10 Spring Creators Update next week, and just like it happened with the previous OS feature releases, the rollout will take place in stages.In other words, not everyone will get it on day one, though it goes without saying that manual downloads will also be offered to those who don’t want to wait any longer and have the IT knowledge to deal with possible bugs and compatibility issues.Fortunately, these tech-savvy users can already download the Windows 10 Spring Creators Update with a small trick, thanks to how fast the RTM build advanced lately. The only thing they have to do is to enroll in the most stable ring of the Windows Insider program and leave it after receiving the final tidbits of the Spring Creators Update.Doing this is not at all rocket science, and it takes just a few minutes, though it’s worth noting that you might not receive the Windows 10 Spring Creators Update immediately after entering the Windows Insider program. This depends on a series of factors, but you should be offered a new build in just a few hours.The ring that you need to be part of in the Windows Insider program is called Release Preview, and it’s pretty much the latest step that a feature release needs to make before the public launch. When a build reaches Release Preview it’s considered to be nearly flawless, with no stability or performance issues whatsoever. This means builds available for users here are the ones that will be shipped to everyone else when the time comes. To enter the Windows Insider program you need a Microsoft account, so keep this in mind if you’re currently using a local account.First off, launch the Settings app and head over to Update & Security Windows Insider Program.
The section on the right provides a short description of the Insider program, along with a Get started button that begins the process of registering your computer for receiving new builds of Windows 10.Click this Get started button and then you’ll be prompted to link an account. This is why a Microsoft account is required and if you’re already logged in with one, just select it and you’re good to go.
For local accounts, you’re going to need your credentials to complete the process.Once you’re logged in and you select your account, you’re going to need to select the ring that you want to be part of. There are three options: just fixes, apps, and drivers (Release Preview), active development of Windows (Fast and Slow), and skip ahead to the next Windows release (Skip Ahead). Select the first option called Just fixes, apps, and drivers and hit the Continue buttons.Afterwards, you’ll be provided with a confirmation screen and you’ll be required to reboot your system. The PC will then be part of the Release Preview ring and checking for updates should offer you the Windows 10 Spring Creators Update, either immediately or after a few hours, as detailed above. Installing the Spring Creators Update is a process that shouldn’t take more than an hour on a new system, but this time depends on your hardware configuration.Once the process comes to an end, you can leave the Insider program and return to the production ring, which means that you’ll receive updates just like before.
A cumulative update for Windows 10 Spring Creators Update should be published shortly after the launch and include fixes that Microsoft developed since the RTM build was pushed to the Fast ring.The Windows 10 Upgrade Assistant is expected to be updated with support for the Spring Creators Update next week, and we’ll detail the process of installing the OS with this method when it becomes available.
Hi Whomp I think you are missing something. I have an Access all areas pass machine that I don't play anymore and am going to sell as now my standard team challenge pc linked to Boost server gives me everything my AAP machine does but the added access to Tournaments and World Tour which allows you to play every course and unlock special player customisable items in every course, also Special player rankings and much much more. Soon hopefully boost will add leaderboards and then the holy grail of online tournaments.It's seems you haven't been reading this forum to closely. If you need help connected to server let me know? Hi Whomp I think you are missing something.

If you need help connected to server let me know? No, I haven't been on here very long but I'm slowly going back and reading this thread from start to finish. I actually read the first 4 pages yesterday and it took a good while to do that but I'll eventually get through it.
I still have a ways to go as well from upgrading my entire PC to installing Team Challenge to possibly logging into the server. I'm just not so sure I want to rely on a server for all this and then one day it goes down and I lose all the courses and such, IF this is how it works. I may just bite the bullet and pay for the AAP dongle and do it myself. Thanks for the advice though as I really do appreciate it. Hey Joepga sorry haven't got round to copying my team challenge dongle yet mate just been flat out.
Also I only have a challenge and championship 3 dongle spare at the moment.STP are u alive mate. Sent u a PM with the online instructions did u get it?Boost any updates mate? I keep playing golf waiting for those leaderboard to appear every now and then only to see nothing. I hope things are still moving forward. Have about 4 machines online now in Aus and slowly recruiting more.
Hope to get an update soon.Thx Joe. I'm pretty sure you need special software to write to the dongle. We are looking at creating a dump file of what is read off the dongle and store it in a program so that when the game looks for the dongle the program says 'here it is' without a dongle physically being plugged into the computer. Unfortunately I tried installing the championship 3 discs that I received from Global VR and before it actually installs, it does a cabinet check and tells me that I have the incorrect dongle inserted and I need to insert 2.0 and/or 2.1 or something.
I looked on the dongle itself and it says 1.5. I don't get it. If anyone has 1.5 version software I would love to have a copy of it since basically that's all Global VR does is make copies of their own cds I don't see the individual cds for the software being unique. Or if you have a dropbox it would be cool to rip the cd as iso and put it in there for download. I'm pretty sure you need special software to write to the dongle.

One of the upgrade / restore disk will go 100% through the install but the other disk stops at 85% each and every time. I even tried two different disk from two different sources and they both stop at 85%.The install disk / restore disk that does work will also ask for a upgraded Net Frame (which I simply downloaded and installed) It also wanted a upgraded Direct X which I also downloaded and installed. So no missing drivers or software errors.
It will even take my 3 Team Challenge install disk with no quirks UNTIL it tries to actually load Team Challenge and then it just shows the Team Challenge loading screen but right after you hear the golf ball fall in the cup it stops and blinks every few seconds, like something is missing.First, is this correct that my computer will not let me install the other restore disk past 85%? If so, what would I need to do in order to get past this problem?I really believe TC will not run because I'm not using the correct or newer restore disk?? So, I would like to learn more about this problem before I invest anymore money on the game.
I could buy a GX 280 motherboard but I just need to know WHY this install is quitting on me first. Has anyone on here seen this happen?I didn't overwrite my original hard drive as I just installed a 2nd one but it's only a 20.5 GB. It still has lots of free space on it. Another thought I could try would be to ghost my original HD and then try to upgrade it to TC but I really feel like this will not work. Hi Whomp firstly I don't think it has anything to do with ur PC it has to do with the disks you are using to upgrade to team challenge. Looking at your photos it looks like you are using a challenge edition recovery disk and not a team challenge one.
Firstly you need the right system recovery disk to match the game installation disks you have. In Australia I use the System recovery disc Australian Version v4.0a that works for my Game installation discs which ther are 3 of and are labeled Team Challenge version v4.0.0.8. Once you have the right disks it should work on and PC on any hard drive whether new or old.What you do is input the system recovery disc first that will install windows xpe on ur PC then it will ask you to restart and input the game disks. If the right system recovery disc is used then it should install perfectly as I have done this several times on different pcs. No need to install more drivers only did this doth the new sell gx 260 motherboard to get sound working.Now as for the ISO of these disks. STP on this forum setup up a Dropbox which had most versions of the game in it he would be the best person to contact and the easiest way of getting these discs.
If you are stuck I have the discs but I think line are mostly the Australian version and unsure what the difference is. I am still connected to boosts server and all is working 100% good luck!!

I do have the Team Challenge restore / install disk but it stops at 85% each and every time. My mouse freezes up at that time as well so there certainly is something it doesn't like with that install disk or the hardware on this computer. I've even tried the same install disk from a couple different sources and it stops at 85% each and every time. So I know the disk is good but it must not like my PC. It is a older PC and probably an original PC.This PC was made for a original setup of Championship 1. Championship 1 is the ONLY install that will make it to the point of asking for the dongle.
What is crazy is I still have the original HD where Challenge Edition is installed (and working) but I have no frigging clue how they got it to work. LOLIt will only accept a IDE hard drive and no SATA connections. My HD is only a 20.5 GB. I want to at least try a bigger HD but I don't have one currently.So, I tried this last night. I installed the older restore disk XPE and then Championship 1. Made it to the asking for the dongle part.
I then installed Challenge Edition but the game only blinks at the very end when it should work. I know why though as it SHOULD work with the newer install disk which I'm sure goes with Challenge Edition. I even went as far as installing TC on top of that as well with no luck.
When I do this I also have to install NetFrame 1.1 and add the DirectX drivers. I wonder if I'm using the wrong DirectX version or I need to try a larger HD or it simply doesn't like my motherboard or processor in the older PC.My last hope is to buy a GX 280 motherboard. Does it matter which processor I use in it or will the install disk accept any processor that works on that board? Whomp you are jumping around from saying ur installing championship 1 to challenge edition then team challenge edition. Not even sure what you are trying to achieve its very confusing??!!! Now please advise are you trying to install the latest version of the game Which is Team challenge or are you trying to install the Challenge version???That's the first thing that needs clarifying??
Once you have done this then please post pictures of both your system recovery disk version and also every game install disk version. When that's done we can advise better??Now as stated in my last post the key is to have the right version of the system recovery disk. Now I have the latest team challenge version and with this I can install the team challenge game version and also the challenge game version correctly. You also need to have the correct dongle present while installing these game disks which matches the game disks you are installing or it won't install correctly.Now please take some deep breaths and clarify everything asked so we can better help?
I know it all sounds crazy but this was just part of my troubleshooting. I was ONLY trying to install Championship 1, Challenge Edition and then TC JUST to see if I had to do it this way but of course it didn't work. Only testing and troubleshooting.
I want to install Team Challenge as that is my goal.After doing a little more thinking this morning I'm just about 99% sure I need a upgraded PC that will work with the never version of the recovery disk. This has to be the problem. I have one of the original PC's that came with Championship 1 and I just think the hardware is different compared to what the NEWER recovery disk is looking for and it's the reason it's freezing up on me ALWAYS at 85%. Does this makes since?
I think when it gets to the point of looking for a certain hardware then it doesn't see it and it freezes up. Has nobody else on here ran into that problem before? I figured out why my PGA would not install correctly.
It was something I thought may be the problem in the very beginning but I didn't have another, larger hard drive to test that theory out. I was using a 20.5 GB HD and it simply didn't like it. I finally found another IDE HD @ 40 GB and the install worked like a charm. I have to admit the game runs pretty good the way it is but I did see some slow down here and there during our games. So, I very well may get a GX280 motherboard and just screw it down, along with everything else, to a piece of plywood, made to fit inside the cabinet.
It should run cooler that way too!Does anyone on here have any extra blue player cards they want to sell or know where I can get some?Oh yea, I also have Team Challenge & All Access Pass running like a charm, without the correct dongle.
