K, good enough.
Probably the result of some twisted tweak of mine!

I'm running the "Offline" Defender scan in my VM now.
I guess @Brink will have a short tut soon enough
It has the normal UI, but you can't update from there, of course, because you're offline(I tried anyhow
)
After it's done it reboots back online automatically.

Yes, I don't advise anyone to go the preview route if they're on a laptop--unless they are the adventurous sort... It's a mixed bag due to the custom nature of the hardware in laptops that often departs from the industry standards promulgated by Intel (usually) in interesting ways--such hardware requires custom driver software to run--and if the laptop OEM isn't supplying Win10 drivers then you could be completely out of luck--because you won't find them in Windows unless the OEM supplies them to Microsoft.
Some laptops have little or no trouble at all--some are a disaster waiting to happen the minute they no longer can utilize their custom driver software. Hardware vendors like Microsoft (with Surface), Apple & Dell contract with the companies that build the hardware to their specifications for drivers, etc. OS X, for instance, supports far less hardware ROOB than Windows, etc. But even with Windows, running the Insider builds on Surface hasn't really been a smooth experience for Surface owners, as I've been reading for months, now.
I'm prejudiced--only time I've ever used a laptop is when a job has demanded it and furnished it to me--and even then I hate them... In my home office right beside my framed "The first thing we do let's kill all the lawyers" quote from Shakespeare, is another framed quote: "The only good laptop is a dead laptop"....! From that you can kind of guess my career-long prejudices...

Yeah, but if we don't preview with our laptops, how is Microsoft going to get it right? They're depending on our feedback, aren't they?Yes, I don't advise anyone to go the preview route if they're on a laptop--unless they are the adventurous sort...

When I travel, I take my dual boot laptop with me just in case we get a new build. Build 14271 dropped the day before I took off this time. :) If things go wrong with a new build, I can boot into the RTM partition. All data is on the external hard drive, so I won't lose any of that,
