Announcing Windows 10 Insider Preview Build 10130 for PCs Insider

Kari, that is what started this post. It is not on my computer natively. I did a clean install from the 10130 ESD and this is what I am working with.
If I type "Reader" from the search it will bring up "Reader" but it is at the Store to download. Clean install versus update? Not sure. I just wanted to do a clean install because I have been doing updates for a while.

I installed 10130 as an upgrade to 10122, and Reader was there; so from your ESD it would seem to have been dropped as a native app.

Jeff, the "orange" one only popped up if I didn't have my default PDF reader installed; once that was done, my PDF reader took over. Not so now with Edge. No matter whether I have my default reader of choice installed or not, I have to jump through hoops to make it my default! Same with Firefox, which I much prefer; Microsoft has made Edge the default! Even when 10122 (which had Firefox as my default browser) was updated to 10130, Microsoft changed my default Firefox and made Edge the default!

Once I had set Internet Explorer as my default using Default Programs in Control Panel, Edge no longer 'forced itself on me' ... though I agree, it should not have arbitrarily changed your defaults after an upgrade! The word hijack springs to mind!

Hello,

Does anyone have any information about Windows 10: release date, reviews, features etc. Any reliable links and third party reviews will be very helpful. We are looking to upgrade our systems and are wondering if we should wait for the arrival of Windows 10.

Thank you in advance,
Avery Eisenreich

Newegg appears to have released date of 8/31/2005 and pricing (See PC World's website)

Your above quote was posted by dmholt57 post183.
My post stated "Restart the computer" while holding down the SHIFT key.
This brings up the "Choose an Option" screen, click on Troubleshoot then Advanced Options.

Not sure if this works with a duel boot, but it certainly works in both W8.1 and W10 preview 10130.

With dual boot that option screen automatically appears so I didn't have to hold the shift key at all. I must have quoted the wrong post since I was responding to holding the shift key and tapping F8. That doesn't work at all in dual boot. But your post assisted me in finding out that I don't have to do any of that. Thanks

Reader App, the native Windows 10 PDF Reader is still there in builds 10122 and 10130 and working just fine, being a very practical and easy to use PDF reader:

Thanks for the correction Kari. I guess it's just that the association of .PDF file extension that's changed to Edge/Spartan then?

Edit: Just saw your later posts. So it is gone in 10130 for clean installs then?
