We hope you are enjoying the current build of Windows Technical Preview.  We promised you’ll get the latest build as soon as it’s available.  Today we’re rolling out the first update: Windows Technical Preview build 9860.  

If you’re using the computer when the update downloads, you will be prompted to reboot after which you’ll see the “Installing your apps” screen, and then the new build will be ready to use.  If you leave your computer plugged in and on overnight, the update will be installed automatically.  Once installed, the build number displayed on the desktop will be 9860.

More information about build 9860 can be found here but some of the new features include:

  • New notifications through Action Center
  • Move apps to other monitors with new keyboard shortcut
  • Choose how quickly you receive new builds

Please keep letting us know what you think!  We are using your feedback to build Windows 10.

    I'm also unable to update.

    Installation Failure: Windows failed to install the following update with error 0xC1900200: fbl_release 9860 Professional.

    It gives me the message box that it cannot be installed on a virtual drive.

    I'm using Boot to VHD. Which is the same way I tested Win 8 as the various previews were released. So without an ISO of this latest build I'm SOL until there's a preview update that can be installed onto a VHD.

    I have tried running regular windows update and have restarted multiple times.

    This is my second attempt at installing the 9860 build, and I have identical results as and when I first installed 9860 build. I'm missing fonts in Windows along with mail. There are no images either in mail and no matter how many times I try, it will not sync with Gmail. I try to update Windows, and it replies with, I am automatically set to update. When I check manually, all I get is I'm fully up to date.

    Going to revert back to the first build.... AGAIN.

    Thanks for nothing, whoever said about updating after the install.

    have the iso image downloads used for clean/repave installs been updated to now contain 9860 instead of original 9841 drop?

    Unfortunately the update stopped @ 7% and stopped and stopped and stopped. Gave up and rebooted in the end went back to previous version.
