    Everytime I go to advanced options under settings - Update and Security and set the box under "Getting builds faster means you’ll see new things sooner. Getting builds slower could mean more solutions are available for issues." to Fast, it reverts to Slow, so the next time I go there I have to re-set it to Fast. How do I save my selection at Fast?

  2. Transferring license

    Did you run the slmgr command to see if your Insider build is now Permanently Activated as a Retail free Upgrade?

    Did you click the link I provided which shows how to continue as an Insider by choosing Get Insider Builds in Advanced Update Settings? If you choose Fast track you'll get more buggy previews, Slow track has already worked out most the bugs.

    You can Get Insider Builds whether you have retail free Upgrade or just continuiing with Technical Preview Insider build.

    You can continue with the Insider build on your laptop whether it is now a retail free UPgrade that's permanently activated, or just continues as a Insider Build.

    You may need to wait until it's made clear how to activate new Insider installs to install it on your desktop. But you can Upgrade Windows 7 or 8.1 anyway!

    This is explained more in depth here:

    Is this clearer now?

  3. Windows 10 Preview from Windows 7 (SP1)

    I recently installed Windows 10 Preview Build 11030, choosing to overwrite my activated Windows 7.

    My question is, when the final build goes live, and I choose to opt out of the windows experience program, does Windows know that I upgraded from Win7 and apply the activation? Or will I be permanently bound by the Preview builds and have to reinstall windows
    7, then windows 10 from within windows 7 on launch day?

    I have the same problem with the update speed. Until build 122 I was on slow and switching to fast when new builds were available. Now when I try to switch to fast and click check updates the new build does not appear. When I go in advanced again I `m back to the slow update speed. Please advise.
