Keep Windows 10 preview up to date -- or face a dead PC

And the date of expiration on build 10056 is:
Attachment 17025

Same date for Build 10049. So, we're good to go, I guess.

The only problem with having Build 10056 is that the next drop may refuse to install.

I have over half of my programs from Win 8 installed in the official build release of Win 10. That's why I won't upgrade build 10049 to 10056. I normally only do clean installs if I have to. I had build 10056 installed on one of my laptops last night just long enough to try it. I now have build 10049 installed on it so my wife can get use to Win 10 before it's released. If I'm not busy tomorrow I will install build 10056 in a VM and load a few programs so I can test it. It's something to do until a new build comes out.

More B.S. designed to confuse those of us who are already confused or living in a world of confusion. . .

Did you read the article?? Edit: and run winver to find out.

I ran Winver so it looks like I am good.

Another benefit of using VMs for testing.
If it "dies", you don't need to panic.

Well said, and very true. . .:)

At some point a couple of weeks after the expiration date, your Preview will no longer boot.

What? you mean I don't end up with a dead PC thats bricked permanently?

The article mentions the builds get bricked which means irreversible damage hence a dead PC right? Oh wait, I think it was just my brain that got bricked by such a retarded article

It is a long way till October comes around. I plan to be on a released build bu then.
