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!

Is it possible to update the build if it is running on a virtual drive (.vhd)? I received the following message after clicking install: "you cannot install Windows on a virtual drive."

OK I was wondering if I was the only one with that issue of missing letters. They are even missing in the feed back tool.

I've downloaded the update and when trying to install it just sits there spinning, what is the time it should take to install the update?

Hi, great stuff. I've received the notification about the new Preview Build, but when I try to install it I receive the error: "Failed to install the new preview build, please try again later. 0x8007001F" Thanks, Davide I've had 2 different erros on 2 download attempts. Rebooted the laptop and on my 3rd try.

You will get an update to Windows 10 Technical Preview soon
