I'm considering swaping my Insider Preview laptop with a newer - Microsoft Community


ever since insider program began in october 2014, i've been installing preview builds on 6-year-old pentium laptop 2gb ram, on dual-boot configuration windows 8.1 pro on other partition.  it's been real trooper, installing every build right 16199.  however, each new build, has been getting slower , slower.  new people/people bar never worked properly, , photos story remix won't export video. 

therefore, i'm considering retiring insider program , swapping newer (by 2 years) pentium laptop with 4gb ram that's date fully-activated windows 10 home creators update build 15063.332, , main purpose being plugged stereo system play music videos , iheartradio.  older 1 can instead.

since i've never done running "retail" windows 10 build, i'm assuming can go settings>insider program , click started.  preference update latest insider build rather performing clean install.  way can test if existing software still works.  first question, since pc running windows 10 home, home version of insider builds?  old 1 gets pro.  i'm not sure if matter me, though.  , keep pace in fast ring.

as older laptop, once saw newer 1 install preview build ok, i'd backup files needed, remove preview partition, delete former partition's computer name msa, , give hdd space windows 8.1 partition.

is there i'm not thinking of, or need aware of or watch out for?

thanks!

yes, build 16215 home insider preview fast ring today. find older devices may not work right, such wi-fi adapters.

you not need delete other pc msa. can have many insider installs on same msa.
