Windows 10: Announcing Windows 10 Insider Fast Build 16275 PC + 15245 Mobile

That's the way to do it. I started it last night and went to bed. This morning it was sitting on the 16275 desktop.*Biggrin

 

Edge seems quite stable in this release too. No glitches so far, but only time will reveal the truth. *Smile

I can not earn Edge browsing Rewards. Wrong location. That sux! *Sad

 

I can earn them (setting US in giving content from... settings) but can not spend them. That sux even more *Sad

 

Ouch, that's like teasing a kid with candy, but never giving him the goods! *Smile

 

Just wait guys. The Bing Rewards program only came available here in Germany this summer. However, as I had set my PC location to UK, and Bing location to UK, I had been collecting reward points long before it came available here.

When it became available, all my points were there. I've already used my reward points collected before the program was available to me now when it finally opened here to get for instance unlimited Skype calls to phones for three months and a few other perks.

 

I think you need a phone# from someone in the states(or now Germany too) for confirmations.

 

I cant even join the Reward program.

 

as an English speaker

 

All correspondence from Microsoft regarding your MS account is in the language of your given country / region. As I prefer to have that correspondence in English rather than in German, I have always set my country / region as UK when creating an MS account (#1 in screenshot). However, as I do not have a UK phone number, I select German country code and enter my mobile number for security contact (#2):





Using UK English W10 as my main OS, wanting search results, date & time formats and so on to be in English instead of German, I have also set Bing preferences to use UK as my location and English as language:





In doing this, selecting a region where Bing Rewards was available before it was available in my adopted home country, I was able to join Bing Rewards and start collecting points.

 

Thanks for explaining that Kari. Guess I did something similar before, but didn't remember details *Smile

 

I still can not join the reward program... Not available in my country/region

 

How about these settings:

 

...what can I say...!?!

...MS internationalization features SUX BIG TIME. Either something IS or it IS not, no matter if I live on the moon or somewhere else. I can't for instance make sure all my OneDrive files gets uploaded to a server in Europe. All stuff is in Redmond USA. That SUX big time too.

 

I bet your MS account location is set to be Finland. It must be set to a region where Bing Rewards is available (with a post / zip code!), here's what it shows for me when going to account.microsoft.com > Your Info > Edit your personal info:





I need to use these settings to assure Microsoft emails and other correspondence comes in English, not in German.

 

Yep and I stopped giving a crap now...that setting will affect too many things. MS may keep their rewards too themselves.

I am so close again to completely switch to personal Linux cloud servers and workstations. MS is a BIG mess, it has always been. Makes me furious!
