Windows 10: January update available as ISO download

Microsoft has released the announced January update of the Technical Preview on the ISO download. The Build 9926 has received many new features, presented at the recent Consumer Experience.


More on Windows 10


Among other things, the start menu has been reworked and is now much closer to the final version. The Cortana language control is also integrated, but it seems to work only in English.


In addition, the "Continuum" function can now be found in the new Windows 10 build. Thanks to Continuum, it is possible to switch between tablet and laptop mode seamlessly. In Tablet mode, the start menu is expanded to the start screen, where the Windows apps can be used across the entire display.


Other novelties include a pre-release version of the Xbox app, as well as photos, maps, and Windows Center applications. Also the charm bar, known from Windows 8, has been replaced by the new ActionCenter.


However, the new browser is not Spartan, which should be included in future builds. You are entitled to download the Windows-10-ISO as part of the Windows-10-Insider-Program. You can find more information about Build 9926 in the official Microsoft blog.
