Windows 10: Announcing Windows 10 Insider Preview Build 14376 for PC and Mobile

Downloading on my desktop and my Lumia 640XL

 

Are we sensing that this build with no known issues is a strong candidate for the next major public Win 10 release summer update thing?

 

Recently replaced the hard drive with an SSD. Wow so much faster. Now if only I could get a faster Internet speed!!!

 

yikes, that took me by surprise..!!

- all in and running..*Smile

 

I am 8000 miles (13000kms) away from my Insider machine. Have fun fellow insiders!

 

Teamviewer!!! *Wink

 

*Ditto

 

Too bad I usually turn off main PC power when I am away... haha...

 

All done. No problems as usual.

 

Downloading on my Oracle VM, Toshiba laptop and my new toy, a Dell Venue 8 Pro, if and when it finally shows up there. I could do the ESDtoISO thing but I want to try all of them via the Windows Update channel.

Uck, I have to do the tablet via Windows Update as it's 32 bit and my others are both 64 bit. I hope once the Defender update installs the IP 14376 shows up there.

Edit: Defender update kept failing. I unchecked Give me updates for other Microsoft products and the defender update is installing and Windows 10 Insider Preview 14376 is there as well. Finally, yeah!!

 

Preparing to install @ 25%. Same old same old. Will probably need to do a clean install from one of the VMs. Not sure whether to bother although I can test on a VM.

Geeks, I thought this might interest some of you now when the free upgrade period is coming to its end.

I made a test with a laptop which originally had Windows 8.1 Pro, upgraded it to Windows 10 Pro and of course it was activated. Went on, wiped the HDD and clean installed Windows 10 Home activating it with a genuine product key. One more clean install, this time Windows 10 Education, activated with a genuine (MSDN) product key.

All above (Home, Pro, Education) were TH2 version 1511. Continued playing, have since that done three more clean installs, one for each 14371 Home, Pro and Education Insider builds. All appear activated, on the same machine.

I don't know how practical this trivial piece of information is but it seems that one single PC can have several digital entitlements, and in the future I can when reinstalling freely choose the edition because all of them will be activated.

Decided to do one more test, installed Home, Pro and Education build 14371 without a product key to three separate Hyper-V virtual machines. Naturally none of these three was activated. Mounted all three virtual machines as native boot VHDs adding them to host boot menu. A native VHD boot with any of these three VHDs containing a non-activated Windows, it is and will be activated based on host digital entitlement.

Very interesting...
