Wait a second, guys! Are we talking about two different builds being released to the public? Wow! This is beyond my expectation of waiting to see single build before the final release in April next year. I am so much interested in these new builds. Thank you, Microsoft!
No. Just no. People will get one public build in a certain period, not two. If you read that article, you'll see they pulled a private build off of build feed. The only actual evidence for a public build is Gabe Aul mentioning 9860.
Gabe also has a screen shot of the build number -- in the watermark on the desktop. Also see neowin.net/ news/microsoft-teases-windows-10-build-9860-before-release Still waiting patiently.
The new preview build is up. Start -> PC Settings -> Update and Recovery -> Preview Builds. Download now.
what's wrong? how much space do i need to download it? and do i need to sign in with Microsoft account to download it? currently im using a local account
Anybody have any info about building an ISO out of these updates for clean installs (other than the sysprep a VM method)? That would be VERY useful so we don't have to start with 9841 every time we fresh install.
Was also wondering if they would release new ISOs or not. Checked the SHA-1 hash values on the main Insider download page and it looks like they are still showing the initial Tech Preview ISOs.
That is correct. Despite the private build has been pulled off,which could be for reasons best known to them at the moment, there is evidence it will surface again as long as private users are going to get their hands on it. Speculation has it Cortana is probably going to be for partners only. Who knows that is one of the reasons they pull it off the Buildfeed? According to Softpedia's link posted by one of the forum users the build 9867 is ready to be released to people for testing. In my little understanding, going by what the writer has spelled out from information available to him, there will be no Cortana for the general public but for partners. The speculation is that Buildfeed gives out this information that build 9867 is read for test. On the build 9860 which we are expecting in earnest without anything to prove affirmatively that it will be released soon yet the build 9867 is ready for public test. I think we are going to see two builds running in different machines at the same time if care is not taking. That would be just wonderful to see.
