Windows 10: Who else is getting the windows 10 preview tomorrow?

Hi

I'm going to download the ISO as soon as I can, but I'm going to dual boot it and hopefully someone else will do it first.

I don't want to put it in a VM because I want to be able to run a lot of my installed software from it. I've found that many or my programs and games will run without being reinstalled.

If it goes like the previous tests I will just switch over that use it unless, I have issues and just use my Windows 8 install as a fallback when I need to.

Before I do that I will have to make new images of my hard drive tomorrow.

I dual booted XP and 7 preview, and 7 and 8 preview both a year or so before they came online.

I hope that it won't be any more complicated to do then it was then, I didn't have any problems at all.

Here is some pretty comprehensive instructions on dual booting 2 Windows OSes in the UEFI environment.

How to Dual Boot Pre installed Windows 8 with Windows 7

If no one else posts about doing it, I'll use this as a guide.

I'll def install it as soon as the downloads finishes.

In my case I will do a clean install of a clean install on my other w7
PC. It's patiently waiting on corner of my desk.

 

I agree. Hopefully we won't have to wait another day.

 

I am going to wait a bit longer before I download it, need to see more screenshots on what options are available

Most of the new things mentioned are desktop related, and are not something I would use, plus it would take over 6 hours to download on my BB

 

6 HOURS!?!?!?! That sucks! Sorry to hear that. Mine will not take anywhere near that long to download.
I just wonder when "tomorrow" begins for MS??

 

Would be at least that,, so holding off for a bit

Just been reading other sites about release times, might possibly answer some of the above

Seen mention it is coming out between 9am and 10am (Microsoft Land Time)
This would be 4pm to 5pm GMT
For those in AUS (Sydney Time) 1am to 2am Thursday Morning

 

Thanks so that would be around 12PM to 1PM my time., Eastern Time Zone US.
So I've been up since 3am for no good reason!! Darn..
Well it is pay day for Erin. Sigh...

 

Sounds about right, 5 to 6 hours from now

was reading a few articles that mentioned this time, hope its true

 

Well, I'll be busy around that time so the soonest I can start the download process will be around 3PM to 4PM today, Eastern Time, US... But, that's not an issue. I just want to get it before or on Friday so I can load it into my VM setup.

 

Hi there

I was hoping it would also be on TechNet before my subscription finally dies out on 10th Oct (must get keys and downloads before then - particularly of Office !!)

Looking forward to trying this one out - I think it should be great on my SP3 then I can test touch stuff decently too.

Cheers

Weren't there issues with Windows 8 on VMWare? I remember I had to use VirtualBox or something when it first came around.

 

I think I didn't use VitrualBox.. VM worked just fine with Win8.
