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!

Check Windows Update.. It was an available update that fixed it for me. Thanks, the update fixed the missing letters for me also. Glad I waited before doing a fresh install.

9860 have alot of bugs :/ 9841 was more stable and more faster than 9860. please bring it back.. i didnt like new window animations. and 9860 slower than 9841 when strating windows. 9841 was very good. please bring 9841 back. omg what a improvement ? new build have more bug than 9841 :/

This new update has some serious flaws, gestures missing, start menu has shrunk and am unable to resize it again. I also have a problem with sound, it is not working but my drivers and hardware is working properly. please fix this ASAP!

You will get an update to Windows 10 Technical Preview soon
