How To Check Out New Windows 10 Features With Windows Insider
Windows 10, unlike previous versions of Wіndows, receives regular feature updates that improve the user experiеnce. Alongside typical bug fixes, Microsoft has сontіnually improved and added to the initial Windows 10 experience since it was first released in 2015.
Before Microsoft releases any new features and software to the general public, it rigorously tests them to make sure they’re fit for purpose. A large number of Windows users play their part in this process, thanks to Windows Insider, a special beta-testing program that any Windows user can sign up for.
Before You Sign Up For Windows Insider
As long as you’re running Windows 10, you can sign up for the Windows Insider program. However, before you do, you should be aware of some of the pros and cons.
As we’ve mentioned, Windows Insider lets you test out some of the newest changes, features, and software that Microsoft intends to introduce in future Windows updates. The Windows Sandbox is a recent example, having been tested in Windows Insider builds before its general release in version 1903.
It’s important to recognize that signing up for the Windows Insider program carries risks. Windows Insider builds aren’t always stable. The purpose of the Windows Insider program is to test these Windows 10 updates, identify any bugs or issues, and to make sure they’re ready for wider release.
If you’re worried about the instability, avoid Windows Insider builds completely.
You’re also required to send a lot of device data to Windows as part of the terms and conditions. This is to help Microsoft narrow down any issues. If you’re worried about your privacy, this isn’t the program for you.
Make sure you back up your critical files before you upgrade Windows 10 to a Windows Insider build.

- At the Windows Insider sign-up page, accept the terms and conditions by scrolling to the bottom of the page and clicking the checkbox. Click Submit once you’re ready.
Once you accept the terms, you’ll be accepted into the Windows Insider program. You’ll then be ready to install the latest Windows Insider build of Windows 10.

- Select Slow for the most stable “preview” build, Fast for the most recent build with the latest features (with a greater risk of instability), Release Preview to gain some new feature updates (but to stay on the same Windows 10 installation build as most users), or Skip to skip ahead to testing the next major Windows release.
- Click Confirm to go to the next menu.

If you’re not happy with the performance of your Windows Insider build and you’d like to return to the stable release of Windows 10, you can within the first ten days of installing your first Windows Insider build.
After the ten days are up, you’ll have to reinstall Windows 10 to return it to the stable release, as Windows won’t allow you to downgrade after the initial ten day period.
- If you’re within the first ten days of your first Windows Insider build installation, head to the Settings > Recovery menu.
- Click Get started under the Go back to the previous version of Windows 10 section.
