BTW - what is the current build number?

10586.36

Thanks.

11082.1000 here, but I am on the insiders program.

Is it free by just signing up? I'm guessing they are "preview" builds
you can activate. Buggy or stable versions?

Yep, free for the singup, they are beta builds, I have seen little odd
things, but no show stoppers, I seem to be getting a new entire build
every month or two.

They have three rings, Fast, Slow and Release, Fast is a bit more
bleeding edge, I am on that, but as I said, so far so good. Slow is
after the fast testing has happened, and will not get every build,
Release is obvious.

Is it possible to move from Vista 64 bit to Win10 64 bit and get
around that limitation? Saying I start with a clean install?

I am not even sure you can upgrade directly from Vista to Win 10 for
free, or at all, I did see with a quick google that you can download a
Win 10 ISO file, burn to DVD and do a fresh install, but you would
lose everything.

I have a Vista machine I had no problems with other than being slow, but
that was from the processor being a old AMD. I have an older tower
running XP with a Celeron processor that works still, but is slower than
cooter brown. My storage tower runs a P-3 with very little memory and
six 18 gig scsi drives. My W7 tower popped the cpu twice, so it sits
waiting for a differet mobo. My real estate agent gave Me this Dell
Inspiron 660, so I put it in line.

You trying to set up a museum?, LOL! I think none of your stuff is good
candidate for W10 upgrade. You need minimum 8 GB memory for any thing
these days. My main laptop is quad i7, 16GB memory, SSD, and 7200rpm
SATA drives plus Blue ray writer. 17" screen. All desktop, laptops has
minimum 8GB memory. I have a small NAS for back up and storage, I don't
use cloud anything.
