Microsoft releases new ISOs for Windows insiders

​Microsoft has recently released Windows 10 build 14965 for users enrolled in the Windows Insider program in the Slow Ring, so the company today published online new ISOs that allow us to clean-install the operating system should you want to start from scratch with this version.

Specifically, Microsoft rolls out new ISOs whenever a specific build reaches the Slow Ring, as this is an indication that the majority of bugs were fixed and everything runs more smoothly.

Today’s release makes it possible for users to clean-install Windows 10 build 14965, which is quite an important milestone in the development of the Creators Update, as it brings a virtual touch pad that’s expected to be part of the final version as well.

Additionally, Microsoft implemented plenty of fixes and performance improvements, and this is one of the reasons the company decided to release it for the Slow Ring as well.

All SKUs available

Windows 10 build 14965 ISOs are available for several versions, including Home, Home Single Language, Home China, Education, and Enterprise. Both 32- and 64-bit ISOs are up for grabs.

Clean-installing Windows 10 builds is a good idea every once in a while because they allow users to start from scratch and address some of the bugs that cannot be fixed with a typical workaround. Furthermore, these ISOs allow users who want to join the Windows Insider program to get straight to version 14965 or update an old computer directly.

The latest Windows 10 build that is available for insiders is 14971 and it was released only a few hours ago, but it’s only shipped to Fast Ring insiders. There are little chances to see this build pushed to the Slow Ring as well, which means that standalone ISOs are also unlikely.

On the other hand, if you want to always try out Microsoft’s latest updates and improvements, you can join the Windows Insider program for free and receive builds as part of the Fast Ring whenever the company releases them via Windows Update.
