Windows 10 Redstone 5 is available for Windows Insiders and if you’re okay with some bugs, you can download and install the preview update right now.
You would need to join the Fast or Slow Ring of Windows Insider program to get updates. The Insider program allows developers and enthusiasts to get early access to upcoming features and improvements, but with bugs and glitches.
Windows 10 Redstone 5 update was only available to Fast Ring Insiders but starting this week, you can download it if you’re a Slow Ring Insider.
The Insider program includes three levels of rings – Fast, Slow, and Release Preview. The Fast Ring delivers preview builds of Windows 10 Redstone 5 more frequently than the Slow Ring.
What’s more important to note is that the builds for Fast Ring Insiders might experience more bugs and other issues than the Slow Ring.
