Windows Insider Skip Ahead Branch
To re-enroll for the Skip Ahead branch of the Insider program, head to Settings > Update & Security > Windows Insider Program and change your ring. Under the “What kind of content would you like to receive?” section change it from Active development to “Skip ahead to the next Windows release” and your pace will automatically be set to Fast.
Microsoft is also getting rid of the “Redstone” codename with the next flight of Insider builds. And is currently being dubbed under the codename of “19H1” – which could also change. While Insiders in the Fast or Slow ring will continue to get new updates for Redstone 5, the company is wrapping up development. The next major feature update should be rolling out to the public the fall – most likely in October. Remember, this program is for testers and enthusiasts who want to get their hands on the latest new features rolling out from Microsoft to Windows 10. The faster you get the new features, the buggier everything will be. Whether it’s Fast, Slow, or Skip Ahead, you don’t want to put Insider builds on your main production system as there are always issues to be ironed out. But if you do want to play with new Windows 10 features early, you can install it on a second PC or in a VM. Comment Name * Email *
