Still, I&#8217;ve not yet downloaded the beta or installed it on any device. No, I&#8217;m not being lazy. I&#8217;m just scared to death.<br \/>\n<!--more--><br \/>\nOne of the reasons I have so many computers is primarily to deal with beta software. You never, ever, ever-ever want to install a beta anything on your real, workhorse computer. I learned that lesson years ago. So I purchased test computers for experimenting with beta software.<\/p>\n<p>Windows 10 is supposedly pretty egregious when it comes to its beta installation. I don&#8217;t believe you can dual-boot it, unlike previous Windows betas. Also, and this is from experience, generally you cannot upgrade the beta to a full-version once it&#8217;s finally released. You pretty much have to start over. And the beta does expire and become useless.<\/p>\n<p>As Microsoft changes things over and over, the beta changes. That makes writing a book on beta software similar to building a house on a sand dune.<\/p>\n<p>Fellow computer book author Woody Leonard probably has a few Windows-related titles he&#8217;s updating. He also absolutely rips into the latest Windows 10 beta over on <em>InfoWorld<\/em>.
