Windows 10 Technical Preview Build 9879 Available Now

edit , the charms bar still not working even thought it set to when I mouse the top right corner.
new version of IE now has a smiley face top right ,to send a smiley or frown for issues on websites

Finally got 9879 working. Made an ISO of 9860 from the ESD file and did a fresh install of 9860. Then ran the upgrade again and all appears to be working ok, just cleaning up old installation files on the VM now.

Storage Sense seems to have crept in at some time... No description of what the colours mean but I like the description of system files :)

The charms bar came up for me when I edge swiped my laptops touchpad. It wouldn't do that in 9860. I haven't tried to bring it up with a mouse yet though. I usually turn the edge swipe for that off. This is the Enterprise 9879.

EDIT: I couldn't get that top right corner thing to work in the last build. I'm on my desktop PC at the moment, I'll try to remember to test it out when I fire my laptop back up.

thanks for that ,iam on the basic prieview, I have the enterprise on another drive that I have to manually hook back up and disconnect the ssd drive that iam duel booting 8,1 and 10,
will hook it up now maybe and do the update to win10 E 9879
to see what happens with charms bar

This was introduced in the second build I believe. It's started as a part of PC Settings in 8.1 as seen below. The newly added colors match the bars of "System and reserved" and "Apps and Games". Red is probably 0 in the next two categories.

Downloaded and started installation of build 9879. Computer showed "Installing." Came back a little later to find the computer had tried to restart, but hung up on a blue screen saying "Your PC needs to be repaired. I cannot boot computer now. Screen looks like
I tried to boot from installation disk and could not. Help! Windows 10 was running great before this.

updated win10 enterprise ,but still no charms bar .kind of liked using it to get around in pc settings, i have pinned pc settings to the taskbar, so that will do just as good I guess
