Perhaps in a logical world, but we are talking Microsoft here.....

I guess its swings and roundabouts but on the other hand general consensus can not be wrong..
most users loved xp then disliked vista got on fine with 7 and win 8 should never have been released...Microsoft should get away from the idea that one os runs on every device..it was not till they developed for tablet and phone that the OS went pear shape hence win 8..
I hope windows 10 proves me wrong,yet I already dislike the look of it..

Been using Windows 10 for the past few months. It's really slick, and the start menu makes a huge difference when compared to 8/8.1.

I'm looking forward to seeing how they port this onto mobile devices, and the interface they will use. They say it'll be the same across all platforms, but that's going to be a challenge!

Put this on me HP Stream 7 mini tablet yesterday, the current UI for small tablets is a lot worse than win 8.1. Hope they improve it or it will be a big step backwards.

I had Windows 8 and really took me an age to find my way around it the "god mode" really helped.

I installed Window 10 beta version 1041 Sunday night and so far does seem ok, obviously massively based around Windows 8 but some tweaks to menus makes it a bit better to play with.
Though I'm not a serious user so no idea "whats under the bonnet" that has changed.

The start menu though does seem to have improved so hope they keep that.

If you go to settings, update & recovery, advanced options, choose how preview builds are installed, change from slow to fast, and then if you check for updates it will give you the latest version that’s released.

Although Windows 10 Build 10051 has been leaked it still isn’t an official release yet.

I did the change to the updates and it quickly found the version 10049 but it errorred when installing so kept me on version 10041.
i will wait for the next automatic update and if that does the same., I will try an install from an ISO.

Unless you are installing on a Virtual drive I wouldn’t take a chance with these new builds that haven’t been released to the public. Like you say it’s best to wait for the official ones.

Here's a solution if Windows 10 build 10049 takes too long to install or fails to install

I did some reading up today and saw a load of issues with 10049 installing, mine is the same takes 2 hours and then fails and restores to 10041.
I only have one language pack and have 200 GB plus of spare storage.

When I go to the insiders program only version 9926 still is available to me and as you stated in a previous post I only want the official downloads.

 

[alimac]

should always install in virtual these builds

mostly work for me solely for testing purpose

10049 has just installed now in around 40 mins so not sure what changed for it to update correctly this time.
