Huh? Wasn't aware there's a new build Either ways, to get the new build, you go to PC Settings > Update and recovery > Preview builds, and click the "Check Now" button to go get the latest build.

Really really liking the new features thus far

Yeah tried that doesn't allow it for virtual drives.

Yep got agree makes the the system seamless when using apps and desktop

Has anyone found an easy way to handle OS updates when you have it running from a VHD? Or is it easier to just re-install the latest build?

easier to install to install the latest build from fresh. normal updates are usually ok though.

Could I boot my SP3 from a VHD that is stored on a USB drive?

So I installed built 9926 to a VHD, and the KB's installed fine. I wasn't expecting that. Will it just fail on other types of updates? it looks like firmware update is failing.

Can the same be done with Win 8/8.1 on a VHD via Native Boot?
