Answer 1

Hi, 

pretty cool you guys fix so many bugs and adding features in such a short cycling recently.

I know, you need logs to improve the update capability. Unfortunately, the device I am testing w10IoT on is running in a highly secured environment. Therefore it won't have access to the internet and cannot update itself. It would be nice to have a Insider Preview Image for download as well...

Thanks, Poly

Answer 2

I would be extremely grateful if you are able to describe in very simple terms just how I go about getting the 14959 release.

It is very frustrating to be part of the insider program to discover that there are two different "tracks"

What do I have to sign up for and are you able to provide a link please?

Answer 3

If I'm not terribly wrong, you have to flash the newest insider build, attach the device to the internet and let it stand over night.

I tried it with my `test-pi` here by hitting "check for updates" on the web portal but this always fails...
