Announcing Windows 10 Insider Preview Fast & Skip Build 16273 for PC Insider

I get warnings like these all the time - usually because I will need to clear up space on the drive before the installation will complete.

Download complete, installing now. I never noticed the red exclamation mark before.

Never saw exclamation mark either, first time I've seen it.

Really fast download phase 1 and quick prep to install, too.

Finished in 44 minutes! That's the fastest for any new build in quite a while. :)

Same here - good direction to be headed in.

There was no that part about 77 -79% slowdown at initial install procedure.

The Windows 10S installer is interesting.

A few day ago, I clean installed 10S on a vm that was activated with PRO but it did not activate. I tried to use the troubleshooter and it pointed to a 10 PRO digital licence, but selecting that upgraded it to PRO (which did activate.

So it seems only way to install 10S and activate it is to be running PRO, and use this installer - it is interesting that it does a clean install even though you have PRO installed. I wonder if it is a real clean install as we know them.

I wonder if you get a new digital licence so you can later clean install via iso if necessary?

Tomorrows Task.

I have to say, I am a little underwhelmed by this new build - I expected o see a few gems still. I get the impression MS have decided to curtail development a bit earlier than on previous builds. They do say they are focussing more on making RS3 stable, and this is obvious from this release.

I just have a gut feeling from the tone of words, we will not gain much being on rs_prelease anyway - no leaps and bounds yet for the skippy version .
