Although Windows 10 "Redstone 4" is not yet complete, Microsoft has already begun its first tests on Windows 10 "Redstone 5".
At 14 in February, Microsoft released two new test builds: Redstone 4 build 17101, and the first build of Redstone 5 (17604).
Fast Ring testers can access Redstone 4, while those in the "Skip Ahead" ring can try Redstone 5, though it's too early to notice any new features.
Microsoft officially announced a new preview program for Windows 10 applications along with the two new builds.
The new program allows testers of the Windows program Insider choose to preview individual apps instead of having to be part of the “Skip Ahead” ring to be able to access the latest app updates companys.
Insiders will be able to choose to have previews of Feedback Hub, Microsoft apps Photos, Microsoft Sticky Notes, Microsoft Tips, Paint 3D, Windows Alarms & Clock, Windows Calculator, Windows Camera, Windows Mixed Reality Viewer and Windows Voice Recorder.
To choose to preview one applicationς, θα πρέπει να πάτε στη σελίδα “Ρυθμίσεις” ή “Πληροφορίες” της εφαρμογής και να κάνετε κλικ στο κουμπί “Join preview” ή στο “Leave preview.”
Microsoft currently has a limited number of previews but will open more slots gradually. Internal collaborators already in the Skip Ahead ring do not have to choose to take these previews.
