Announcing Windows 10 Insider Preview Build 10532 for PC Insider

You should be able to do that, Magilla, but what with all the nasties that seem to be popping up with 10525 and 10532 updates/installation, only the Shadow knows!

thanks, Wynona. So are you saying maybe I don't want to go there? Just leave it alone for a while? I just want to stay on Insider status. I am on insider status on my desktop. I just found a 10532 install.esd and was about to make an iso from it. Yes? No?

Make the ISO, Magilla! :)

Question: Has the laptop ever been on Insider status before? Some have said that if the computer hasn't been in the Insider Program before, it won't activate.

I can't test because I don't have a computer that hasn't had an Insider Preview on it.

Edit: Windows 10 has corrupted all my computers! :)

Yes, it has been on insider since January! And this last version 10532 did corrupt the laptop on which it resides. It is on second disk -- first disk is Windows 7. It crashed and corrupted my Windows 7, also. But thanks for backup of Windows 7 it is up and running and backed up again! So, being a glutton for punishment I am going to reinstall 10532 and see where it leads me.

A true beta tester if I ever knew one!

Yep! I'll let you know what happens!

Wynona, I am back on. Thanks for your support and encouragement. Yes, I am a glutton. But I am back on. This time I kept being asked for key code but at the end it recognized me as an insider so I'm good to go again until the next crash.

If you have it locally, yes; but the old builds will not activate...

. Can I reinstall ISO 10240 then update from there? That is the last ISO I created from install.esd. I want that computer back on insider since it is laptop.

Thanks. I went ahead and reinstalled the crashed version, build 10532, and have it up and running. It did ask me for a keycode but I by passed that, it asked again later, I bypassed it again, and it did activate. I have been a insider since January so this computer has seen many builds since then. But I do appreciate your response.:)
