I don't know if Microsoft can't get along with the mainland IT media. In recent days, when Windows new products are out, they are selected in the domestic legal rest days, such as the Windows 10 conference on the early morning of October 1 last year, and the latest technology preview on Saturday. The download link is streaming.
Although Microsoft is not kind, IT media people are quite kind enough to push any latest information to the client. The new features and experiences of Windows 10 system are familiar to many users, but people are eager. Looking forward to the Windows 10 Consumer Preview download link, Microsoft first issued a technical preview version, whether this technology preview is suitable for ordinary users to download, whether the various stunning experiences demonstrated at the Microsoft conference last Thursday can be used. Come, the pro will find the answer in this article today.
Since it is the Internet media, the natural speed is the first, the style of the article is relatively easy, and the conclusion is the most preferred reading method for the majority of users. This time, I will first reveal the doubts in everyone’s mind. Do Windows 10 technical preview users want to download? The answer is very firm: don't download and install.
Although from the perspective of the completeness of the version, this technology preview version may be closest to the final retail version of Windows 10, but I still have to sentence it to death! The answer comes down to three categories:
1, some software application-side drivers The update is not perfect (including some graphics card drivers, large game drivers, this unbearable shortcoming).
2, everyone looking forward to the Chinese version of the Cortana voice assistant /presentation Project Spartan "Spartan browser", can not be used.
3. At present, some self-upgrading users feedback Windows desktop interface display problems (“ start & rdquo; menu is incomplete, notification bar display is incomplete).
It seems that these three points have challenged the bottom line of users who want to upgrade, but the more people warn that downloading and installing will inspire some users' interest in installation. Otherwise, those bad films still have high box office. It will happen often, so I still have to show how to install, preview the interface, and have problems.
Windows 10 Build 9926 technology preview version of the three installation methods:
1, by adding Windows insider plan seamless download and installation
I saw last Thursday's Microsoft conference video friends should know, in order to give The end user is a relatively perfect Windows 10, Microsoft has opened a Windows insider program, allowing more developers, interested parties to jointly develop Windows 10. Since Microsoft called it a technical preview, it naturally joins the Windows Insider program to qualify for your experience.
As long as you have a Microsoft account, you can join the program after logging in, and you can also check the official explanation of the technology preview (but the information is in English, but it is good to have pictures and videos together) Demo).
It is worth mentioning that the technical preview installation package obtained by the friends who join the insider program is downloaded through the system's own "update" item, not downloaded through the official download link. It can also be provided to others for installation.
This method of installation is indeed a bit cumbersome, only one advantage is that you can choose to restore to the previous system version when you can restart the computer, but the friends who have been early adopters in this way inform the installation of various bugs, the display is incomplete after the start button is started. The notification bar on the right side is incomplete, and so on. Perhaps the above situation is only an individual phenomenon, but considering that the two methods mentioned later are more reliable, suggest that friends who are not early adopters should continue reading.
2, through the official download address of Microsoft download to create a bootable USB flash drive installation
This method should be more popular user choice, the specific download address [click to view], but the 4GB capacity is not small, the best choice to support The download tool for the resume of the breakpoint. After
download, free up an empty USB flash drives to be made to start USB installation, so the fastest method, but requires the user on the computer to make a new letter to accommodate this technology Preview version of Windows 10.
After rebooting, the system will let the user choose to start the system, or you can make a default option for a system.
3, through the official download address of Microsoft download after the installation of coverage
Same as method 2, after downloading the new version, choose to install directly, no need to free up new drive letters, but there are certain risks. For example, the previous version may lose information when it is restored. And from the actual experience, the installation speed is slower than the previous installation through the boot disk.
Windows 10 Build 9926 technology preview interface
The new Windows 10 interface is also a flat trend, and the return of the start menu is also recognized by the majority of users, and from the upper right corner of the interface above, a large picture can be seen, such as OneDrive cloud sync is closer to user control.
In addition to flat style, folder icon, computer icon, etc. are redesigned, especially custom folders manifestation of a more technological sense, select the folder icon to two major file types Display, let users have a certain understanding of the contents of the folder.
This is the system" setting one by one item icon, is it more concise?
I believe that the above two major technical previews have a lot of understanding, then I will Let's talk a few answers about the general inner doubts of this version of the netizens, and hope to help friends who still want to try.
Windows 10 Build 9926 technology preview version of the big problem to solve:
1, the start of the button under the tile application can be completely deleted?
In fact, the right side of the button on the tile mode can also Add a title bar and type in any Chinese or English or symbol, but only one line.
The effect is shown below.
I don't know if Microsoft intends to let everyone remember the existence of the tile application, or is this still a bug, anyway, it is such an empty blank, and does not do automatic indentation.
2. Can Cortana switch to US/UK time zone?
I have changed the system time zone and time to the US Eastern Time Zone, but I still can't use Cortana.
Friends who have seen/experienced the technology preview before should know that the voice assistant Xiaona, who demonstrated a good presentation at the Microsoft conference, did not appear in the Chinese version of this version. Some friends will ask if they have changed their time zone. Time to achieve? I will not be able to use the system time zone and time after changing to the US/UK. Some friends say that only the system that selects the English version when downloading will have Cortana.
From the further search bar settings, Cortana is already disabled, and there is news that the Chinese version of Cortana will wait a few months before it is officially launched.
3. Can the graphics card driver really not be installed?
After installing the technical preview version, the graphics card adapter has been in the yellow exclamation state, so the first idea is to download a driver wizard to see. After
download the latest version of Driver Genius, after the self-check everything is normal, you can click for more information is a variety of & rdquo; & ldquo ;, No information available visible new system driver installation is not supported really hurt Can't afford it!
When the performance of the notebook graphics card is being used on the NVIDIA website, it is not detected. However, there are also user graphics drivers that can be installed, but how much support does the game support? Some friends said that the LOL League of Legends can't play, but such as the tank world, NBA2015, etc. is still possible, which is not related to the system itself. Big, mainly a problem with game projects.
4, how to achieve a circular user login interface?
When you see this circular user login avatar, you will be a bit strange but will feel very cute, in fact, as long as the registry is simple Modifications activate new features that are not enabled by default - a new user login screen.
To activate the login screen using this enhanced version, do the following in Windows 10 with version number 9926:
1. First open Regedit.exe
2. Access HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWARE/Microsoft/Windows/CurrentVersion /
Authentication/LogonUI/TestHooks
3. Double-click the “Threshold” key, and modify it to “ld” in the pop-up dialog box. “1”
4. Close Regedit.exe
Complete After the modification, when you return to the login screen, you will find the new lock screen icon and the round user icon. Although no new features have been added, it brings a different experience than the Windows 8 system.
Full-text summary:
Although the consumer preview version of Windows 10 is not expected, the technical preview version is too dissatisfied, and there is no experience in increasing the experience of Cortana and Spartan browsers. Seeing the real body, and there is news that Microsoft will not show all the features of the conference to the user, but use a mode to release a large version of the update one month to gradually release the corresponding new features, such a tonality is also drunk Is it a mouse that has been used by users for a long time? The release of the new system, the drivers of various application vendors have not been updated in time, especially for the support of the game is delayed for a long time. Therefore, I do not recommend ordinary consumers to download and use here. If you want to experience it, try to install a new drive letter.
Speaking so much, I finally want to spit a few words about the new Windows 10. For heavy office people, we should not be too gorgeous interface, don't call the intelligent voice assistant, let alone the crooked tile interface. What multi-platform unification is meaningless for our heavy PC users. What we really want is that the system optimizes the hardware performance, and it is more efficient office experience. Please return to the operating system for the complement of hardware devices, instead of It’s just a icing on the cake.
