Microsoft has mentioned they intend to update the OS's more often, They have not said how often, so unless anyone can see the future no one can say when the testings / previews will be available. Microsoft will make them available when they want to. To say they dont exist is not right.

1392887 2015-05-02 21:47:00 Relevance and W10 don't go too well together, unless it's for a page in a paint-by-numbers book ;) R2x1 (4628)
1392888 2015-05-02 23:16:00 And this relates to my post how? :)tell us where you read it is one version of what n'est-ce pas means. So basically when Windows 10 goes RTM, there is no reason what so ever that MS wont make it available for testing purposes exactly like the previous versions available. Considering the current Tech Preview is there already.

The versions on Technet do change every so often with new updates etc, they just don't announce it. These "testing" versions are free and just like the previews are time limited.

If thats not what you actually were referring to then dont go using french terms which can mean many different things in different situations.

Giving up on these previews, waiting till the final comes out. 3 different installs, three different set of results , items missing and functions on one but not the other - its still to unstable.

1392889 2015-05-02 23:46:00 I'm sorry, I guess I was being a bit pretentious. Interesting interpretation of n'est ce pas - I've always understood it to mean "is that not so?", that is what all the online translations seem to say as well.

I'll keep on with the previews; I like to see how things develop. I've actually found it quite interesting to see how things have gone back and forth (and up and down) during the preview process. Goes back to my own days as a systems development programmer/analyst/project leader, I guess.

1392890 2015-05-02 23:55:00 Different languages when converted dont always give the same results. never mind. Bit like the instructions you get in some brown box item ( desks, shelves etc) converting to English from Japanese doesn't always work to well ;)

problems having so far -- simple tasks normally, putting This PC, network on the desktop. Finally found it on one install :waughh: Right click desktop/ Personalize/ Themes /classic settings/ Go to desktop Icon settings.

On one install its there on another after personalize its all blank. On another install the complete control panel was empty with the exception of user accounts and Admin tools :confused:

STILL cant see 3/4 of the networked computers, MS HAVE to get that sorted, can you just see millions of businesses world wide not being able to see their servers or other networked devices-- That will go down really well.

Well it is in the disclaimer...


You might also have trouble connecting to home or corporate networks.

1392892 2015-05-03 01:22:00 Networking works fine if you upgrade from 9962 ( think it was) to the latest, its only on fresh installs.

Thats one Item they SHOULD have working. Many people that use the software even for testing ( Myself included - 90% is on servers, not on the actual PC) have networks which are used consistently and MS in their utter stupidity decide to beak a function thats used regularly ?

Theres plenty of complaints from people saying they cant do (what ever it is) because its broken again. Sure its still in development mode, but the main functions should still be working at this stage. Seems they are more concerned with that stupid Cortana and the glitz and all things that sparkle.

Never mind, as mentioned before, not going to bother till they have finished it, its obvious now as to what its going to look like, lets just hope they can actually manage to make it work.

1392893 2015-06-01 04:37:00 The invitation to upgrade has just appeared on my Win7 PC, inviting me to "reserve your free upgrade". I guess that means the final release must be getting fairly close. I certainly hope we are not going to be bombarded with this for months.

Also build 10130 is currently downloading on the WIN 10 machine.

More to come...

And mine - just a small icon at the moment - I also hope they don't get too pushy.
