Windows 10 Customer Preview

It ends in April I think is what the Preview page said. After that you won't be able to use it.

Dang it, installed on my laptop and opened winver out of curiosity. It said it expired on April 15. Let's hope there's a timebomb deactivator!

Why would anyone want to run a technical preview on their main rig for any prolonged period of time? I mean, I can understand a beta to an extent. I ran Windows 7 beta even a little after retail came out because it was so solid but a beta is much better than a technical preview.

Well for me it runs like a charm and hasn't crashed or skipped once.

That's fine, just realize that MS will revoke all working instances next year. It's also an incomplete product.

There's no official support for it though and won't be until at least the beta.

Its great they added the old start menu back! I'm installing the tech preview now!

 

[PP Mguire]

It's honestly the way they should have done it from the start.

I shrank down the tiles in my start menu but now the tiles list horizontally across instead of vertically down. The more I attempted to move the tiles the longer the horizontal rows grew. I stopped at 4 rows

still has some bugs

The minimum you can have is 2 columns. I tried to do a single column of tiles, but it will snap back to the top of the 2nd column - I saw it was reported already in the Feedback app so I +1'd it.

Mine bounced into 4 columns
