#HOW TO INSTALL WINDOWS 10 TECHNICAL PREVIEW ON WINDOWS 7 UPGRADE#
If you wish to clean install the original Windows 10 Technical Preview 2 release, or build 9926, and then upgrade that to the latest Windows 10 Technical Preview 2 release, or build 10041, you can use a build 9926 ISO to create bootable Setup media and go from there. You will do so via Windows Update, so if you don’t see anything happening, head there. If you wish to upgrade an existing Windows 7 or 8.x-based PC, you can visit the Windows Preview web site from that PC, sign-in with your Microsoft account, sign-up for the Windows Insider program if you haven’t already, and then choose “Get Started – PC” (as opposed to “Get Started – Phone”) and upgrade to the latest public build, which is the original Windows 10 Technical Preview 2 release, or build 9926. First, install Windows 10 Technical Preview 2. This build just flew out of the gates, and all bets are off.

And the reason for that is that Microsoft recently changed the flighting process for new builds, as I wrote about in Windows 10 Technical Preview 2 Build 10041 is Here: From Paralyzed to Parallelized.

That’s because Microsoft isn’t providing the ISO files for this build that we could use to complete a clean install of the OS. “How to make a million dollars: First, get a million dollars.” In this case, the joke is, “How to install the latest build of Windows 10 Technical Preview 2: First, install Windows 10 Technical Preview 2.”īut seriously, you do need to install Windows 10 Technical Preview 2 first. And even then you need to make a key configuration change to get the new build as soon as possible. Unfortunately, the only way to obtain this latest build is to install a previous build first. If you were hoping to clean install Windows 10 build 10041, well, you can’t.
