Windows 10 gets its first beta preview in three years

The bell is tolling for Windows 10, with the much-loved operating system going out of official support in October of next year. But with hundreds of millions of users still on the older version (and many refusing to upgrade), it looks like Microsoft has a few improvements left to make. A new beta version just dropped for Windows Insiders.

While Windows 10 betas have certainly been made for the last three years, they’ve only been tested internally by Microsoft before hitting the general release. A company blog post notes that some of the new (last?) features the OS is getting will require more broad testing. Microsoft also wants to reassure Windows 10 die-hards that joining the Insider Program and applying the beta will not automatically update the operating system to Windows 11. Just make sure you don’t join the Canary or Dev channel when you do so — that’ll apply the Windows 11 update if your PC meets the somewhat confusing base requirements. PCs that don’t meet the minimums won’t have access to Canary or Dev channels. The new beta build isn’t heading out to Insiders just yet, it needs a few more weeks in the oven. Microsoft just wants you to be ready for it. Further reading: Hey, everyone: It’s time to switch to Windows 11 Windows
