Now this is odd.

Above is a screen shot of my connections. You can clearly see I am now connected via a cable, and that the wifi connection is not being used. Odd thing is, I have done ...............nothing.
It's possible it was an update or something - who knows.

The PPOE connection would is a dial on demand connection. It's if you have ADSL/"Fibre" and connect directly to a modem - it allows you to establish a connection to your internet provider without a router doing the work for you.

I'd not expect this to be connected unless you were into a modem and not a router. It's normally used for testing, than the norm.

Mine took well over 2 hours, even though they say its not supposed to.

Would you hit a nail with a shoe because you don't have a hammer? of course not, then why work on anything electrical without a means of testing Click Here to buy a "tester" just because it works, does NOT mean it is safe.

win 10 - up and running fine but what I will say is configure the settings so it doesn't send data to MS and turn off connect to a wifi hotspot feature

everything can be found with just using the box on the taskbar - its made it far simpler to use but the power user side of things is a bit hidden

ps. you can check on download progress in windows update as millions are downloading it the download speeds can be hit and miss

How big is the download for Win 10?

I ask as I have suddenly got 5.8Gb file in the Windows files temporary folder, but the notification still says I have to wait for it.

Just wondered if it could be win 10 before I delete it!

Mine looks to be 5.7GB so it's likely the download.

If you can't wait, then you can start it by downloading this and selecting 'upgrade' when prompted (or build an ISO/bootable drive).
