[ManofScience]

i'm getting issues where;

1) I can't preview .jpgs - invalid registry error.
2) Can't open built-in Apps like Calculator
3) Store doesn't work.

All sorts of things to try - sfc scan, resetWS, repair catalog. Sometimes it goes away, other times it comes back. proper weird. Even after clean install it comes back.

Not impressed with these simple errors...

Windows Insider Program one year on: 27 PC and Mobile builds and 7 Million testers

One year ago today the Windows Insider program launched the very first Windows 10 Technical Preview, after announcing the program the day before on September 30th. The build number was 9841 and it took Microsoft only two weeks to register one million testers for the program.

Fast forward to today, and Microsoft now enjoys an army of 7 million testers in what can be considered an established team for testing not only Windows 10 PC builds, but also Windows 10 Mobile, and even Enterprise features. It's clear that Microsoft values the feedback of its consumers, going as far as to add or change features based on feedback..............................................

Windows 10 Beats Windows 7 in Two-Month Adoption Race

Stats show Windows 10 is already successful

Many claim Windows 10 was a product specifically developed to fix the annoyances in Windows 8 and this is why Microsoft brought back the Start menu and other features, but the number one rival of this new OS is actually Windows 7.

Right now, Windows 7 is the leading operating system on the desktop and pretty much the most successful version released by Microsoft on the PC, so when comparing the performance of Windows 10, everyone's referring to the one launched two generations ago.

Statistics provided by NetMarketShare and put together by Statista indicate that Windows 10 is already performing better than Windows 7, at least in the first two months on the market. If we look at Windows 8, the two can't even compare, as Windows 10 is far ahead and is very close to reaching the best market share of its predecessor in just a few months after launch.

Specifically, Windows 10 is at 6.6 percent after two months of availability, while Windows 7 was only at 5.8 percent after the same period of time following its launch. For comparison sake, Windows 8 reached a market share of 1.7 percent in two months.

Rapid growth for Windows 7

But as you can see for yourselves, Windows 7 actually had a slower debut, but things improved rapidly soon after that, so the operating system increased its market share continuously every single month.

Right now, Windows 7 is said to be powering nearly 50 percent of the world's PC, which is undoubtedly impressive for an operating system launched in 2009, and Windows 10's priority is to do the same thing in the shortest possible time.

This is actually one of the reasons why Microsoft's offering Windows 10 as a free upgrade to Windows 7 and 8.1 users, but only time will tell if the new OS can really crush its predecessors thanks to this offer.

And it's not got nothing to do with fact that Win10 is free

free for a reason

 

[idrob]

10 months left to get Windows 10 for free

The free Windows 10 upgrade offer lasts until July 29, 2016, so consumers who are eligible should hurry up and get the new operating system without paying for it as they still can.

Now You can Activate Windows 10 Using Windows 7, 8 or 8.1 Product Key

This news came as a surprise to many people. Today with the release of the new Windows 10 Insider Preview build 10565, Microsoft announced an important change in this new build which is related to the activation mechanism of Windows 10.

According to official statement of Microsoft:

"We have received a lot of feedback from Insiders on making it easier to activate Windows 10 on devices that take advantage of the free upgrade offer to genuine Windows by using existing Windows 7, Windows 8 or Windows 8.1 product keys. If you install this build of the Windows 10 Insider Preview on a PC and it doesn't automatically activate, you can enter the product key from Windows 7, Windows 8 or Windows 8.1 used to activate the prior Windows version on the same device to activate Windows 10 by going to Settings -> Update & security -> Activation and selecting Change Product Key. If you do a clean install of Windows 10 by booting off the media, you can also enter the product key from prior Windows versions on qualifying devices during setup."

Which means now users can use the product key of their Windows 7 or Windows 8/8.1 versions to activate the new Windows 10 OS successfully.

Do these new 'builds' get assimilated into everyone's Win10 if all goes well with the insiders?

When it’s gone through the various stages of testing and when there is a significant improvement worthy of a release then yes, they pass it on to the rest of the world.

But the above “Preview build 10572” is one for mobile insiders and not for PC

Gabriel Aul was a bit ambiguous in his statement

Or it may have been my mistake, sorry

I think you were right, it wouldn't be the first polysemous statement from MS would it?
