Windows 10 Build 10074 ISO Images Available Now

Microsoft this week, during its Build developers conference released a new version of Windows 10, build 10074 to both the Fast and Slow rings. Because this build is included in the Slow ring, the ISO images were made available the same day as the release.

The benefit of downloading an ISO is you can put them on installation media like a DVD or USB flash drive using a free utility like Rufus or Microsoft’s Windows 7 USB/DVD Download Tool — the name is old, but it works for creating a bootable flash drive. Then you can do a clean installation on one of your test computers for Windows 10.

The other benefit is that an ISO provides an easy method for installing Windows 10 on a virtual machine using a program like Oracle’s free VirtualBox or by using Hyper-V in Windows 8.1.
