I managed to get it installed after uninstalling malwarebytes thank you Wyn. When I checked windows activation it now says "Product Id not available" instead of saying "activated". Not sure what that means.

Martin the Sith Lord in me is rearing his head, maybe @jyusa needs to read this:

Download and install the preview only if you
- Want to try out software that’s still in development and like sharing your opinion about it.
- Don’t mind lots of updates or a UI design that might change significantly over time.
- Really know your way around a PC and feel comfortable troubleshooting problems, backing up data, formatting a hard drive, installing an operating system from scratch, or restoring your old one if necessary.
- Know what an ISO file is and how to use it.
- Aren't installing it on your everyday computer.
Things to keep in mind
Unexpected PC crashes could damage or even delete your files, so you should back up everything. Some printers and other hardware might not work, and some software might not install or work correctly, including antivirus or security programs. You might also have trouble connecting to home or corporate networks.
Some installed apps might not yet work as expected or might not be available in your country or region. For example, Cortana is currently only available in English (United States), English (United Kingdom), Chinese (Simplified), German (Germany), French (France), Italian, and Spanish (Spain). To be able to use Cortana, the country or region for your system must be set to one of the available languages, and you also need to have installed that language's version of Insider Preview. In addition, the Cortana features that are available in one language might be different from those that are available in another.
Also, if your PC runs into problems, Microsoft will likely examine your system files. If the privacy of your system files is a concern, consider using a different PC. For more info, read our privacy statement
I beta tested every Windows that ever came out. A lot of SW too. Some times, like with W95, beta was better than first regular version that came out. Not sorry to be insider either, even with few glitches here and there, insider versions are better than last regular one. Have more features and some bugs are fixed before they go to general population.
I wholeheartedly agree!
Although only 3 out of 7 computers (all low end, quite old) I have are opted in for Insider builds (EN-GB, EN-US and FIN PRO), I run Insider builds on each of them; those not on Insider program I simply upgrade with self made ISO when a new build has been released, a PC does not have to be in Insider program to be able to run Insider builds.
Out of at the moment 12 Windows 10 Hyper-V virtual machines half are opted in for Insider builds (SWE & GER PRO, 2 x EN-US PRO, EN-GB & EN-US Education), rest again upgraded with self made ISO images.
On a few occasions I have had to skip a build, two times because missing language packs, once because WiFi & Miracast didn't work. Other than that my quite heavy duty computing has been done with latest Insider builds without any major issues since first week of October 2014.
I've had about a dozen BSODs in this two years, all due an incompatible third party driver or application. I have some minor issues like for instance one of the HP laptops does not shutdown completely when shut down is selected, but shut downs normally when restart is selected, meaning an automatic restart does not work. However, I have had no major issues totally preventing me from using the last build available.
I am happy and satisfied that Microsoft offers this opportunity to a geek like me, always interested in seeing what's coming up, interested in following the evolution of Windows. For me being Insider in Fast Ring is only possible option :)
HelloI have a problem, after i updated to 14942 with fast ring.The update was succesfull, but when i try to run chrome, firefox or edge browser.A lot of homepages wont be loaded, got different errors.This side cant be reached , something aboot ssl error.I have tryed to find a working solution, but nothing works.I been using bitdefender 2016 , disablet both defender and MS firewall - even tryed to disable Bitdefender 2016 also.Nothing help..I really hope, that someone can give me some nice hints to fix it :)I must refresh this reply 3 times, before i could post it!Thx
I rolled back too. Malwarebytes would not work, blue screened every time i tried to load it up. Also my logitech keyboard lost all its profile settings. Quite a few other minor issues also. I'll wait for next preview build.
