Microsoft Temporarily Suspends Availability of Windows 10 Builds

Posted by samzenpus on from the that's-it-for-now dept.

Mark Wilson writes: If you haven't already downloaded Windows 10 build 10162 or 10166, you're now too late. Microsoft has suspended the availability of these two builds — previously available on the Slow and Fast rings respectively — in the run up to the big launch day in a couple of weeks' time. As we edge closer and closer to the RTM build of Windows 10, Microsoft is now asking Windows Insiders to stick with the build they currently have installed for the time being. Anyone who hasn't upgraded to these latest preview builds is out of luck. As well as disabling upgrading through Windows Update, Microsoft is also suspending ISOs and activation.

    I botched up my disk drive's EFI partition while trying to install Windows 10. By the time I resolve all my problems, I may not be able to activate the damn install!

    Fortunately you weren't trying out a beta on your production machine, so the two weeks without Win10 won't matter, right?

    If you fire all of your QA, you don't plan to test anyway. So, what's the difference?
