    endbase is right, there is no need to activate with weird keys or other keys. TP comes with keys installed inside the media already. It only needs an internet connection to activate.

    I can't say about the general operation, but 9860 seems to take forever to finish all the startup tasks. A whirling "busy" circle lingers over the taskbar for ages.

    Yes I believe they discovered that Computers have the power to do animations once again. It's like we're going from Windows XP to Windows Vista. O wait that's just microsoft discovering most people have more than 2-4 GB of ram.

    Personally, I don't care much about these animations anymore. You notice them for a few days until you're used to them and then you don't really recognize them anymore. I remember the first time they did this kind of animation, I guess it was the fade-in Start menu (and menus in general) in Windows 98/2000. It's cool for some time. But when I work with the PC I barely pay attention to them.

    I'm still hesitating to update my Windows 10 VM to this build after I read about all the tiny issues compared to 9841. Maybe I'll just wait for the next one (9880, anyone? :D).

    All the sudden leaving my PC for 10 hours, the Snap Assist doesn't work anymore. Weird.

    Snap Assist works only when restart. After 10 hours, Snap Assist fails to work. Hoping for the next build.

    It's something with the metro apps. Kill ApplicationFrameHost.exe in the task manager and snap will work again, until it decides to bug itself again.

    Note killing that exe will dump any metro apps you have open.

    That's one of the same problems I was seeing. Guess I can't say it enough - clean install solved all those problems for me.

    I have merged a number of threads with this one to make the forum tidy. Please don't create new threads just to post bug reports or new findings; check the appropriate stickies instead.

    Remember any bug reports are only to inform others of the issues. All bugs and anomalies should be reported to Microsoft, it's the whole purpose of the technical preview :).

    I'm having this issue too but If i'm using this as my main os; it's going to be rather frustrating too do a clean install for every new TP release..
