Win10 latest 9860 version 8 big update! Teach you how to upgrade Win10 preview version 9860

On the morning of the 22nd, Microsoft released the first update of the Win10 preview version. The upgraded version number was upgraded from the previous Build 9841 to 9860. Although the number does not change much, the changes inside are quite mysterious, notification center, data traffic perception, new power saving mode, and new animation effects. It can be said that in addition to the "Dona" that is still not seen at the end of the dragon, most of the suspense hanging in the hearts of netizens has been solved. The following small series for everyone to introduce Win10 latest 9860 version of the 8 major update, and teach you how to upgrade Win10 preview version 9860, let's take a look!
Figure 01 Win10 preview version of 9860 is coming, are you ready?

However, unlike the past, Microsoft did not provide an ISO image of the update package, which users can only obtain through Windows Update. If you haven't upgraded to the new version yet, take a look with us.

1. Thunder and whirlwind! No way to go

In the past, the big guys who downloaded the operating system, the user chose the professional download software such as Thunderbolt. After the mission was completed, the high-speed offline was fully opened, and then you could do whatever you want. However, starting from this version, Windows Update will no longer use the image download form, all firepower must be concentrated on the online upgrade of Win10.

Click the Start menu to select “Computer Settings" (Metro) or search directly "Windows Update";
Figure 02 Select "Computer Settings> or Direct Search"Windows Update”

Select “Update & Restore&"→“Preview Version>;
Figure 03 Select “Update & Restore 

At this point Windows will automatically detect if there is Update, if there is, then display a "Download Now” button, click on the upgrade to start.
Figure 04 Click this button to start updating

Is it easy to see this? But if I tell you that the total sum of this update is 2GB, and there is no progress bar and speed indication in the whole process, what do you think? In short, the whole process is like the Microsoft Insider Program project director Gabriel Aul said, this update may just be to test the new update method of Windows, 呃 … … nothing more. As for the user experience, let's talk about it after the official version comes out.
Figure 05 The download starts, the speed is still ideal, and it is relatively stable

The download speed is not bad. In the author's telecom 10M fiber, it basically stays at 0.8MB/s~1.2MB/Between s, and the difference between the previous use of Thunder whirlwind download is not very large. And the most important thing is that you can continue to work in this process, yes! Download is download, installation is installation.
Picture 06 After downloading, you need to manually click “Install Now”, but there is no humanity, that is, there is no prompt tone, and the prompt is too inconspicuous

The installation process is fully automatic, also That is to say, we don't have to look after the computer from time to time like a new installation to see if the so-called smartest system is waiting for us to make certain "important" choices. In short, although the new version of the update package can not be linked to the "upgrade" word, but if your broadband is enough, and there is no need to worry about it, it is not a bad idea to pick up the time before going to bed at night. At least the next day, it is a brand new system.
Figure 07 There will be a prompt when restarting, and you can choose to restart after a few hours. Of course, I think it is better to add a countdown option. Figure 08 is actually a system installation process
Figure 09 The restart will last a few times, of course, the content is irrelevant.

The whole process will restart automatically several times. Of course, if you don't want to watch it, it doesn't matter, let it toss it yourself, anyway, it doesn't matter. Prompt, don't look at it.
Figure 10 Seeing it, it means the update is complete

Finally, Win10 will stop at this login interface, seeing it, it means the update is complete!

2. New animation effects

One of the most obvious changes in the new version of Build 9860 is the addition of a new window pop-up animation. This animation is different from the previous version of "Class fades in and out". It's an animated effect with the properties of "pop-up", which is turned on and off. But I don't know if it is a personal feeling. This effect always feels not smooth enough on my computer. Maybe the animation duration is too long, and the visual sense is too obvious. Or is it for other reasons, in short, personal feeling is not as good as the previous Win10 preview.

3. Added Data Sense data traffic awareness

Build 9860 adds a new Data Sense data traffic awareness feature, located at &ldquo ; PC settings> (PC settings) under the first menu, divided into Overview, Usage, Settings three functions, the function is to display the user's computer traffic usage.

From the setting options, this feature is very similar to the traffic settings we have seen on Android or iOS every day. For example, you can decide whether to enable background traffic (Restrict background data), whether you can roam when Use restrict background data when roaming, or check the usage of Wi-Fi and cellular networks, and the specific traffic (guess) of system processes and other processes through a ring graph.
Figure 12 Add “DataSense”, note! & ldquo; computer settings & rdquo; become English

It should be said that this feature is very necessary for mobile users, but also the main factor that Win10 can be accepted by mobile users. However, at present, this function is only a framework and cannot be used at present, so the specific situation needs to be said when the function is normal.
Figure 13 is similar to other mobile platforms, but currently cannot be used

4. New battery saving mode

This function is also set for mobile devices, in "Computer At the bottom of the setting <;(PC settings), a new "Battery Saver Mode" (Battery Saver) has been added. Specifically, when the power is lower than a certain set value (the slider at the bottom of the page), the power saving mode can save power consumption of the tablet or notebook by limiting some background application opening and hardware setting adjustment.

After opening, a small icon will pop up next to the battery icon on the taskbar. Of course, like Data Sense, the current Battery Saver is also unusable, and it is estimated that the next Windows update will be waiting.

5. Add a notification center

This should be a long-awaited one, and some netizens have passed the registration form before. The way has been turned on. The new notification center is located on the left side of the notification icon switch on the right side of the taskbar. The icon design is a bit like the input method icon of the Win7 era, except that the small tail on the icon is cancelled. Just like the previous rumors, the new notification center is similar to the related functions in WP, which can collect all the information that needs to remind users, such as system, third-party application, alarm clock, calendar, application store, etc..
Figure 15 The new notification center is ready for use

After receiving the message, there will be a blue flower pattern on the icon, and the specific content will be displayed after clicking. Moreover, the author tried it, the content inside is completely pointable, and can also be directly linked to the corresponding Metro application, there is no problem that the online rumor Build 9860 notification center can not be used.
Figure 16 The icon will change when there is a new notification

However, Currently Notifications can only be opened on the taskbar, and the Metro start screen still has no shadow (the Notifications under the Charm menu is just a mask switch). And after logging out, it will all disappear. However, according to Microsoft's design, Metro is definitely the highlight, so it is estimated that the next version should be improved.
Figure 17 Metro start screen still has no notification center figure

6. Virtual desktop improvements

Virtual desktop has been slightly improved in this version, such as the previous switch page only Hand-operated window transfers (that is, from one desktop to another) can now be done with a shortcut such as Win+Shift+Cursor. Moreover, there is a transition effect when the desktop is switched, at least to make the effect more obvious when the user switches the desktop. Of course, there is still a big gap between this version of Win10 and professional virtual desktop software, but it is better to use it.
Figure 18 The virtual desktop has added shortcut keys, and there are animation effects when switching.

In addition, the author also found an interesting place, that is, Alt+Tab can simultaneously display programs opened under different desktops. If the application you want to open does not appear on the current desktop, then Win10 will automatically bring you to the desktop where the application is located and display it. This should not be completed by the previous preview.

7. Some window changes

If you frequently link to Wi-Fi Internet access, you will find that Build 9860 is very different from the previous version in wireless settings. Specifically, the previous Wi-Fi settings were based on the Charm sidebar, but now they are placed in a separate window. Of course, this is not the author's special opinion on it, just think that it is likely to be a direction of improvement for Win10 in the future, yes! Based on Metro, based on windowing, perhaps the phrase "this is just the beginning!".

8. Other small changes

In addition, in the trial, the author also found a small detail, that is, Aero Snap (that is, we usually say 1/2 split screen, 1/4 Split screen) After the drag and drop back, the window shape can be restored, and the previous Win10 preview version is not acceptable. (It is said that Microsoft has added nearly 7,000 improvements in Build 9860, but I only found this, huh, huh).
Figure 19 After the Aero Snap is switched back, the shape of the window can be restored.

Ok, let's talk a few more things to note. After the update is complete, some options (such as "Computer Settings") will Automatically turned into English, that is to say, what Chinese version, Portuguese version you used before, after the update, all changed back to the deity. And because it is an upgrade installation (this really does not seem like an increase), so in the installation disk will appear the famous "$Windows.~BT" and "Windows.old" folder, and the initial look is not small There are roughly a few GB giants. But I don't know because of Win10's own mechanism, or some automatic maintenance options have played a role, so I took screenshots when I finished writing, and found that their size has been a lot smaller (there has been a restart in the middle). Of course, for any reason, Virgo users will not feel happy! I hope that Microsoft will improve it in the future.
Figure 20 See this interface, it is estimated that Virgo users will not be calm

In addition, the updated Win10 performance does not seem to be as good as the previous version, but I did not do specific performance testing, just In terms of personal feelings, perhaps it is the so-called "exceptional situation", this is still reserved for netizens to experience it themselves.

Attached: A few small questions

1. Is IE12 coming?

A: No! The new Win10 Build 9860 is still built with IE11, but the version number has been slightly improved, from the previous 11.0.9841.0 to 11.0.0860.0, the performance should be expected to change little.
Figure 21 IE version number has a small increase

2. There is "Little Na", rdquo;

A: No! And there are no signs at all. It seems that the late update is still expected.

3. After the update, do the dual systems need to be reactivated?

A: No! If you have previously installed a system such as Win7/8 on other disks, you do not need to update these systems after the automatic update is completed. This is a necessary step in the previous new installation!
