Windows 10: Installation of Consumer Preview Build

I just recently put an extra SSD on my PC and installed Build 9879. It is not working so well on my rig but I understand why. I'm not here to talk about the current issues but rather how Microsoft will deliver the Consumer Preview Build in a couple of weeks.

I have seen in my PC Settings the Update and Recovery > Preview Builds and I have currently left it alone at Slow.

So will the new CP build come down through that channel or will they recommend to download an ISO and do a clean install? Or will it be a combination?

What your recommendations? Thanks!

So you are on an Insider build. You posted in standard Windows 10 I thought you were talking about the consumer build.

There may well be more traffic on the Insider Preview as MS collects data from your PC. This is all part of the preview process.

 

Installation of new preview build in old Lumia 640 XL

I am using Lumia 640XL, with internal storage of 8GB (~7.28GB). The distribution of the used storage is as given below :

>>system & reserved = 4.76GB

>>Apps & games = 574MB (none of the app can be removed or shifted to SD card ~build in apps like groove, mail etc)

>>Temporary file (~pending update and preview builds) = 977MB

Therefore, total memory in use is 6.29GB, and it is the minimum space required by the phone in internal storage. Leaving only 0.99GB of free space.

Now, as a new build became available I tried to download it but it says it requires at least 1.23GB of space, which is sadly not even an option for me any more!

please let me know if their is any way to increase my internal storage unused space or even any other solution, so that i can install new build as it releases

The build to be released on the 21st can be updated to in Windows Update, or download an ISO file to clean install with. *Smile

Upcoming Windows 10 Technical Preview build include ISOs

 

Brink................will the CP come to both slow and fast, or should we have it set to fast as the time comes???

 

Hey there,

This time it should be coming through Windows Update instead.

However, I would still recommend to set it to "Fast" below to make sure you get it immediately when released if it needs something from this route first.

Thanks Shawn, looking forward to the next build.

 

The next release is still considered part of the Technical Preview, right?
Or has MS moved into the next phase Consumer Preview.

I know the Insider program states 15 April 2015 as the end of TP, just curious about the title and that no one explicitly said Technical Preview.

Thought I might have missed something *Wink

 

Currently, it's just rumors that it will be the consumer preview. We shall see.
