Windows 10: How to download Windows 10 Redstone 5 preview update right now

Windows 10 Redstone 5 is available for Windows Insiders and if you’re okay with some bugs, you can download and install the preview update right now.

You would need to join the Fast or Slow Ring of Windows Insider program to get updates. The Insider program allows developers and enthusiasts to get early access to upcoming features and improvements, but with bugs and glitches.

Windows 10 Redstone 5 update was only available to Fast Ring Insiders but starting this week, you can download it if you’re a Slow Ring Insider.

The Insider program includes three levels of rings – Fast, Slow, and Release Preview. The Fast Ring delivers preview builds of Windows 10 Redstone 5 more frequently than the Slow Ring.

What’s more important to note is that the builds for Fast Ring Insiders might experience more bugs and other issues than the Slow Ring.

Who's downloaded the Windows 8.1 preview update?

For some reason the installer says the update is not applicable to your computer? (Win 8 Pro x64) anyone else try this what was released today?

http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-8/download-preview

EDIT: It appears the error is because the download is named Windows8-RT-KB2849636-x64 so looks like it's only for ARM based RT Windows 8 versions even though there's nothing suggesting that on the actual download page, so where's the x86 8.1 update people?
