It’s now the 4th of August, almost a week since release and I’m still told “we’re validating windows for your PC”. I see repeated update failures in windows update. My SSD has been depleted of several extra GB so clearly it has downloaded. I’d prefer to wait to see if it installs of it’s own accord but I presume that will never happen now?

Yes cheers, have it installed now, I was intending on waiting for the upgrade advisor to tell me it was ready to install but that clearly was never going to happen!

Sure, it wasn’t going to happen instantly. I am really glad this worked for you.
Do have a great day buddy.
