Windows 10: Windows 10 preview update comes with faster app animations and more

Microsoft is rolling out a new preview build from the next big Windows 10 release branch and it comes with multiple improvements for users. As correctly predicted by our sources, Windows 10 Build 21277 from the RS_PRERELEASE branch is now rolling out to the testers as an ‘optional update’.

The biggest highlight of Windows 10 Build 21277 is support for x64 apps emulation for Windows 10 on ARM PCs. In this preview build, testers can install x64 apps from the Microsoft Store or independent websites and run those apps via the built-in emulator with increased performance.

This build will allow users to run Chrome, Autodesk, Rocket League and other apps using the new x64 emulation layer.

Faster animations


In case you’ve been wondering, Windows 10 applies animations to pretty much every corner including menus, notification, transitions between activities, dialogs, etc.

Windows 10 has always used some hardware acceleration to improve the animations speed of both desktop and Microsoft Store apps.

Microsoft has now confirmed that it’s working on a new change that will make the transition jerk-free. Windows 10 Build 21277 comes with smoother transition feature for the animation that appears when opening or closing an app window. This change applies to Edge, Chrome, Store, and other apps.

In addition to faster animations, Microsoft will finally allow users to remove the built-in snipping tool from the Optional features page in the Settings

If you use the modern snipping experience, you can now take a screenshot of your screen and paste it directly into a folder of your choice in the File Explorer.

Microsoft has also made improvements to the graphs in Task Manager’s Performance tab and updated the folder logic in Start Menu’s all apps list to reduce clutter.

Microsoft is currently working on two feature updates – Windows 10 21H1 (minor update) and 21H2 (major update), but it’s unclear when these changes will be released to non-Insiders.

Installing Windows 10 on Lumia 920

I have a Lumia 920 mobile phone.
Found a list on the net with compatible phones that support Win 10. Mine is on that list.
Can't upgrade with the usual way.
Found help on this official website of developers for Windows Phones. It's a step by step no brainer thing. Most people are doing it. Except me. I can't get past point 6. HOWTO: Install Windows 10 for Phones on Non-supported devices (and other hacks)

"6.Connect to the same WiFi that your PC is on. Edit the settings for the WiFi connection to turn on the Proxy and set it to use the PC’s IP address and enter 8877 for the port "

7. Open Internet Explorer on your phone and navigate to http://[pc.ip.add.ress]:8877 where [pc.ip.add.ress] is the IP address of the PC running the WPInsidersHacks app
No idea what this means.I guess i need to access the router and modify some settings in there. Some guy on the forum told me " think he means to use the local IP address of the pc. Go to cmd and type ipconfig and look for ipv4 address. Should be somethin like 192/......"

I did connect my phone as always via wi-fi to my router. But i have no ideea how to use that proxy or how to make my phone have the same Ip as computer. I did start WPInsiderHacks app on pc. This is what it looks like




Theres also this official Windows Phones
It says this :
1. Download the Windows Insider app.
Press ... > about > make sure Sys free space is 300MB or more.
If there isn't enough space, make full reset with Windows Phone Recovery Tool.

Code:
upwp10.chinacloudapp.cn:7777

Download and install certificate.
3. Edit WiFi connection, enable Proxy

Code:
upwp10.chinacloudapp.cn
7777

4. Open Insider app, click get builds
5. You will get Enroll page, do not Enroll yet!
6. Switch to WIFI settings, turn off proxy.
7. Switch to Windows Insider app and now you can enroll for Windows 10 Technical Preview.
Choose Fast option.
8. Check Settings > Phone update.
If it can't find updates, you may need to reboot your phone and enroll again (without a proxy now).

Same thing with the proxy. Anyways the more detailed steps on the DEV forum are much better i think .Cuz they put out more info on how to do it.

Can anybody help me with step 6 ?
