    By the way, the timebomb seems to disappear, if you use the 2012R2 datacenter gVLK (KMS Client) key.

    Not to mention its the same version (14291) as the last windows 10 build....wich isn't exactly the most stable one.

    I'll still download it though and just boot it in a vm, see how it works.

    Tried this and no go. Error: invalid key even though its a legit 2012 R2 DataCenter KMS key.

    Hmm, is it truly that bad? No working Windows Store? Does that really matter on a Windows Server installation? What would you ever want to grab from the Windows Store on such a installation anyways?

    On Tp4 even WMC worked out of the box, Wireless must be enabled from the server manager, as in the previous versions.

    The only thing you will miss using the server as workstation is the bluettoth service, but it's really quick to fix, just install the toshiba stack.

    Windows Store didn't exist on TP1-3. On TP4 and TP5, you can't download apps directly from the store, but you can restore some from your account, or manually copy from a Windows 10 install.

    Performance on this build is surprisingly good.

    On the technet site the TP5 appeared: [h t t p ://prnt.sc/ajbsdo] (remove spaces for actual link)
    (appareantly i cant post images/links yet)

    However, seems they uploaded the wrong iso for it. when you download it you still get the TH2 10586 build iso, not the RS01 one.

    Unless thats intentional, but I doubt that. So I guess the actual preview still has to be uploaded but they changed the text to TP5 already.
