That's not the way it works. You need a new PC with quad core and 16 GB of RAM to test a new OS.
You use what you have. At least you're testing it. Better than some that don't have the ability to do it.... Some people just think everyone should be running a home lab with ESXi servers and clustered Windows Servers...
I'd love to try it out on my old DELL laptop but when it gets to the screen to setup/choose the parition all it tells me is it cant make or detect a partition and I cant go past it.
The SSD is the only drive in the machine other than the USB stick I'm installing from. Googling hasnt helped much with a solution, even trying the recovery tools to use DISKPART.
Oh well.
Does it show the SSD at all? if not load drivers for the chipset / controller, probably too old there are no drivers for it for Windows 8/10
It shows the SSD fine. Will let me partition it manually and everything. Just wouldnt install to it.
So... installed a bare Win7 and did the upgrade method... worked perfectly.
No clue what the issue was.
It's functional, but just barely:
It connects to the internet via wired, but if I force wireless it hangs on boot.
When I try to change the desktop background, it just defaults to shuffle all the backgrounds.
Also, loading websites is incredibly slow, even on wired internet, and even trying chrome instead.
Going to be a long uphill battle until this crap is usable.
Sounds like you have a bad ISO. I'm experiencing none of these issues. In fact, it even correctly imported my Windows 8.1 settings via my Microsoft account.

I think the flat icons just don't look good. Fisherprice from 80s is not new.
I have it on a old acer 5050 laptop 64bit tech preview. I get a error every time I shut down, not sure why.
This needs two major fixes.
1. Being forced to log into a ms account every time boot or from lock out. Netplwiz only clears it. then you need to re enter it.
2. Aero/ remove live or metro live tiles on new start with all the bing junk.

It certainly does like to chew up the RAM, though.
I just make a local account. But i agree they should have an option for people that use ms accounts to not have to keep signing in.
This isn't what I'm noticing on my native installs. On an 8 GB device with Work, OneNote, half dozen IE tabs, Tweetium modern app Twitter client and a few other things running I've been noticing only around 3 GB of RAM consumed with the non-Enterprise version.
Go to PC Settings->Users and accounts->Sign-in options and at the bottom of the screen change "Password policy" to not require a password from sleep or lock. In 8.1 this selection had options to time how long the device was in sleep of lock before prompting for a password but it's gone in this build for some reasons and is only a toggle now.
well the toggle doesn't work at all no matter what its set to
It works fine on my tablet, but it has changed in 10 for some reason so something could be borked for some.
Has anyone found a benefit to the task view? Maybe i just don't understand it idk.....also is there anyway to get rid of the search everywhere bar that doesn't seem to work at all? I miss the basic run bar that worked great in win 8.2....all in all i very much like the new start menu even though i wish it could be made a bit smaller...also is it just me or is rapter just not compatible with this win version? wont install for me and was kinda handy when wanting to record gameing
I've been using it on my desktop since it came out and it works fine for the most part, though I did find a way to crash explorer.exe, if I right click the taskbar and choose any of the options to rearrange windows and then choose to show desktop it crashes explorer.
I did an in place upgrade and it worked fine.
Larger window previews are a plus, in my opinion. I could go back and forth as to whether I'd prefer window previews or large icons ala OS X's task switcher, but I think what they have here is good.Has anyone found a benefit to the task view? Maybe i just don't understand it idk.....
Bug or they removed this feature?
Dual monitors - Windows 7 you could snap a window on either monitor to the outside and it would take up half a screen, you could then use the Windows Key + arrow direction keys to move that window to another monitor
Windows 10 - i can only snap on the Main monitor and using the Windows + arrow keys it will not move the window to the 2nd monitor..
