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. ================================================================= Updated on 24 Oct 2014 ================== Thank you, everyone, for letting us know about your experiences with our latest build! This has been a great discussion, and we’re reading every message! To that end, this thread has served its purpose of announcing the new Windows build, and will now be closed. To make it easier for everyone to get help with their individual issues in the latest version of Tech Preview, we encourage you to either join an existing thread focused on your specific issue, or create a thread of you own if one doesn’t already exist. Please keep the feedback coming!

my laptop runs the update for almost an hour like this. Is this okay or there's a problem downloading the file?

Close that. > Search > Check update history Than > Check for Updates & look for the Build update if you don't already see it in history. But, use WU & take whatever is offered THERE Cheers, Drew

1st, DO NOT add Norton to Windows 10. Matter of fact > Programs & Features & make sure Norton is not there. IF it is remove it. Where are you trying to access the Update Build? Use WU . Read this about the error. Cheers, Drew

Someone in the thread mentioned that updated preview build size is about 2-2.9 Gb. However, it took me roughly 20 minutes to download and install it on relatively slow connection (2 Mbps). Yet, after update I am having hard time with many metro-style settings, for e.g., PC Settings, Windows Update and even the Windows Feedback App itself. Does anyone had the similar problem? Can it be a problem caused by partial download of the build (see second sentence above)? Shall we expect update on this? This is the error I get when I try to click on PC Settings in Start Menu.

I recently got the update 9860. After the update, Skype is not working. It does not log in. Did anyone else face this problem. Would appreciate if you could give us the solution. Thank you

You will get an update to Windows 10 Technical Preview soon
