Joined fast ring earlier this week, formatted due to bad rollback to 1803 and now I have itch to join fast ring again! Anyone using these on their primary machines yet?

I have been installing the Fast Ring Builds on my primary machine for the last 3 years and thankfully I managed to skip the bad ones. I do have backups tho, so if something goes wrong i can restore the old version in 10 minutes.

My BIOS also updated to v1.21 in this update.

Microsoft is now into BIOS upgrades? I don’t think so, unless they have decided to go into mobo territory.

Just getting started:

@brummyfan

If you're seeing that here:



There's a good reason why it may have just appeared. Alienware (Dell) released a firmware (BIOS) update for my box in Dec. 2017, and this descriptor did not get updated thru WU until around March. Description updates are not high on the agenda. May just be a coincidence.

Finished the update seems OK but at least for me it still taking long then it was before.

- testing here..
- gave it 3 hours as usual..
- took time out to practice my Xbox controller skills with Fallout4..

And at the desktop. They have bunged a phone link on the desktop.

- is that purely for Android users?
- my Windows10 phone has been registered for ages..
- not exactly a "tailored" download..

Finally got Insider Build 17741 installed on Little Lenovo. For whatever reason, it refused to finish installation when I pressed Restart Now, so had to go through the whole rigamarole again . . . this time it took!

Now I'm off to bed.
