Microsoft announced yesterday, at the low key announcement event, that the public preview of its next operating system would be available for download on October 1. And as things stand, you’ll not have to wait much longer to get your hands on the copy.
A confidential document that Redmond sent to partners, which was uploaded to the web just recently states that the Windows 10 technical preview will be available 9 AM Pacific Time, 12 PM Eastern Time.
Which makes it barely an hour from now.
Here is selection from the document:
The download will be part of the new Insider program that Microsoft has rolled out for Windows experts and enthusiasts that want to take its operating systems for a spin during development.
This portal is sure to go live at the abovementioned hours too.
As is always the case, it is advisable not to install Windows 10 technical preview on your main PC, on production hardware, as there are bound to be bugs and issues that may create problems or break existing programs.
Microsoft is expected to release a few such preview releases, so always install them on a separate computer, if possible, in order to test these early builds out.
