Windows To Go Device using Windows Technical Preview

I have successfully made a Windows To Go Device by the steps in this Technet forum post:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/6991.windows-to-go-step-by-step.aspx
Note: I used a host machine running Windows Technical Preview already to make this device, since older versions (Windows 8/8.1) of DISM don't work for imaging Windows Technical Preview Installation.
Everything works fine. The device on which Windows To Go is running is a high-speed USB 3.0 HDD, so there is no significant performance difference. However, while updating to the new build 9860, the upgrade fails stating that you can't install it to a USB
Flash Drive.
Question 1) Does this problem has anything to do with the fact that I am NOT using the enterprise version of Windows Technical Preview, the only version which "technically" supports Windows To Go feature.
Question 2) My host machine (which I used to create Windows TP) has been updated to Build 9860. Should I use DISM to capture the image of this updated build and use it to image the WTG HDD device? Can I get detailed instructions on how to do this?

Hi G.One1,
In current time, there is no direct way to perform the upgrade, in both Native Boot to VHD and Windows To Go.
I was thinking a way to create a ISO file also, but the method would be a bit of complicated.
Here is my thought and steps.
First, if we update our Windows 10 Technical Preview for Enterprise to 9860 build, we would get a install.esd file, in Windows 8.1, here is a tool called update advisor, which would
convert the esd file to ISO file, but in Windows 10 Technical Preview, there is no such thing. So my thought is to use the install.esd to create an install.wim or bootable ISO file.
In my first thought, I want to sysprep an updated OS, but it failed without doubt. So, I choose to use Reset option. Install.esd would be recognized a compressed install.wim.
I copy the install.esd to a 9841 build OS, for example, I copy it to C:\RecoveryImage, and run
reagentc.exe /setosimage /path C:\RecoveryImage /target c:Windows /Index 1 , it cannot reset the Windows OS.
I use Reset option in 9860 build OS, when it is finished, run sysprep, it ran well, I can capture 9860 build wim file (WDS server capture or dism command). We rename it as install.wim.
Use the captured install.wim to set recovery image in 9841 build(copy install.wim to C:\RecoveryImage, and run
reagentc.exe /setosimage /path C:\RecoveryImage /target c:Windows /Index 1), 9841 build succeed upgrade to 9860 build via Reset and Refresh options.
For Windows To Go, Yes, you can use all Windows features with your Windows To Go workspace. The only currently unsupported features are using the Windows Recovery Environment and PC Reset &
Refresh. So this way is not appropriate in your situation. But here we use these steps can convert the install.esd to install.wim, and use reset and refresh option to upgrade current build.
Refresh would upgrade without losing setting and data. For your scenario, use dism to apply 9860 install.wim would be your option.

Figuring out how to access a device using Windows.Devices.HumanInterfaceDevice?

Before I start, I would like to share this link I used to access windows RT libraries from Desktop applications (only the ones stated in MSDN documentation that are accessible from desktop applications):
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/cdndevs/archive/2013/10/02/using-windows-8-winrt-apis-in-net-desktop-applications.aspx .
After following the above instructions you can import some of the windows RT libraries in references. I have been trying to use the Windows.Devices.HumanInterfaceDevice library. I think my UsagePage and UsageId are off though. I am wondering
if someone good in hex can translate them from my report descriptor. I already have the VID and PID (this should be enough along with the path if I called write file or some of the other win32/OS api's). Here's the code I am using in VB.NET:
Public Class VirtualMouseDeviceOpen

Bit Locker Implementation in Windows 8.1 machine using Windows server 2008 r2 server group policy.

is it possible to enable the bit locker only for windows 8.1 machines through windows 2008 r2 server group policy ?
Thanx and Regards,
Shanif

Hi Shanif,
Yes, we can do this.
Regarding how to enable Bitlocker via group policy, the following article can be referred to as reference.
Cannot Save Recovery Information for Bitlocker in Windows 7
http://blogs.technet.com/b/askcore/archive/2010/02/16/cannot-save-recovery-information-for-bitlocker-in-windows-7.aspx
After configuring the settings, we can use security filtering or WMI filtering to apply the policy to specific computers.
Regarding this point, the following blog can be referred to for more information.

It charges via its USB socket, so you can't use the Xtra's power supply.
What is displayed in screen and can i use drag and drop transfer method from windows explorer?
It works as a flash dri've, so appears as a dri've letter in Windows Explorer.
Finally can i use the mediasource 3.20 softwear update i now use with my zen or must i input different mediasource version for slim than one i use with the zen? thanks matt
Go to Nomadworld.com downloads and you'll see the Slim listed there with MediaSource and the MuVo plugin.

When I jhave firefox on my computer weather I am using it or not windows crashes I am using windows vista on a toshiba laptop

My 4 year old Toshiba laptop with windows Vista crashes when ever I have firefox installed on my computer. When I uninstall firefox the crashes stop weird.

Please try Firefox in Safe Mode. To access Safe Mode - Click Start Menu > All Programs > Mozilla Firefox > Mozilla Firefox (Safe Mode).

Firefox crashes after I close a 'sent email' window. I am using Windows 7 and have recently updated to Firefox 4.0.1, using AOL toolbar 2.1. ID: 9dafea24-ccbc-4c76-b3ea-fddeb2110430 Signature: JSObject::nativeSearch(int, bool)

Firefox crashes every 2nd or 3rd email I send.

Hi Kossa,
You can also check if the issue occurs in
Clean Boot. If the issue disappears in the Clean Boot environment, you can continue to narrow down which entry is causing the issue.
Besides, uninstall it and re-download
a fresh copy of FireFox to check the result. If the issue still exists, create a new user account to see if it occurs.
If the issue persists, you can contact Mozilla Support directly and use Internet Explorer (IE) during the time.

When I started up Firefox after a 30 seconds de connection with my wifi disconnected. The connection can not starting also not when I had starting find problems in windows. I'm using windows 7 and firefox 7.0.

When I than starting IE the connection will starting en is oké.

You should actually be using Flash 10.3 (11.2 is insecure).[[Flash 11.3 doesn't load video in Firefox#w_solution-2-downgrade-flash|Solution 2: Downgrade Flash]].
Also, is there a reason you are using Firefox ESR? It's mean for organizations, and doesn't include all the security and stability fixes that Firefox latest (15.0.1) has.

Users of HP laptops with switchable graphics HD4000/HD5000 will face the same problem after upgrade to Windows 10.
The earlier we'll start to discuss and find the solution for this sort of laptops the higher chance that we will be able to use our laptops in Windows 10.
I use Windows 10 Technical Preview now and I try to find the correct driver for my laptop.

Hello there mate got g510 iam on windows 10 insider preview build 10159 and it runs smooth! about the driver thingy i found it the most easy to do beyond all the other devices out there all u have to do is downlaod and install the last build from here : https://mega.nz/#!hUc2SSDI!9VRPiak8tS90rKbbVEEA0MCn5QbI8YgWRA_gCkFmcrY make sure to clean install it by 8gb at least flash driver and u are good to go ps: upgrading from older builds can make crashes and black screens after the amd driver installed so just make clean install for ur own good after u are done u can check for windows updates and it will take the intel and amd drivers that supports the wddm 2.0 plus the conexant audio and bluetooth ,Elan touchpad , the last stable ones comes with the updates and trust me its the most stable ones ive used so far the remaining unknown device and the pci is for the power manager and the intel imanagement engine u can use windows 8.1 x64 drivers for those sorry for the bad english tho xD

Known issues
Be aware of these known issues (as of 3/23) in this release:
Windows SDK
After you install the Windows SDK, Windows 10 apps might not build successfully with
Visual Studio 2015 Community Technology Preview (CTP) 6 due to a of a metadata problem. Although you should not install the Windows SDK if you are doing app development, you can use the following workaround to build an app
successfully:
Exit Visual Studio.
Open a command prompt as administrator.
Run the \Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\bin\x86\GenerateUnionWinMD.cmd script.
Windows ADK
When installing to Windows 7 PCs, run ADKSetup.exe in administrator mode.
WDK
Currently, WDM templates do not build
Driver deployment to target PCs won’t work if the
Display name used in the Device Configuration dialog is different than the
Network host name. In this release, verify that these names are the same.
Target creation of mobile devices causes Visual Studio to become non-responsive.

Hello ,
May I know ,where is the HLK download link
Is it likely HLKSetup.exe ??thanks

[Forum FAQ] How to show Windows Update in Control Panel in Clean Installation of Windows 10 Technical Preview Build 9926

Scenario
If you performed a clean installation of the new Windows 10 Technical Preview Build 9926, you would find Windows Update is only available in
Settings and is hidden in Control Panel by default. However, Windows Update is still available in Control Panel if it is an upgrade version of Windows 10 Technical Preview Build 9926.
Solution
After the comparison of the two different version, the differences is the following registry:
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsUpdate\UX\IsConvergedUpdateStackEnabled
In clean installation version:
In upgrade version:
The method to make Windows Update show in Control Panel in the clean installation of Windows 10 Technical Preview Build 9926:
Edit the REG_DWORD value of IsConvergedUpdateStackEnabled from 1 to 0.

We’ve seen a few forum posts talking about changing registry keys to alter the update experience we shipped in Technical Preview build 9926. There are a couple of reasons that we don’t recommend doing things like that.
First, the default experience is what we’ve tested across not just the Windows 10 team, but across all of Microsoft before we released it to you. That doesn’t mean that you won’t still find bugs, but it’s definitely the code that’s been most thoroughly
tested. Changing things back to older versions is risky because the combination of those old settings with the rest of Windows 10 is not something that’s been validated or supported, so we can’t predict the side effects. It’s possible that changing registry
settings related to update could cause a machine to no longer be able to get new updates or Technical Preview builds.
The other reason to avoid changing the default update experience is that a lot of update-related code is actually being re-written in order to scale across the variety of different device types Windows 10 will support. Since Technical Previews are
a work-in-progress, some code that may still be in build 9926 won’t actually ship in the final version of Windows 10 that we provide to all our customers, so trying to re-enable that code temporarily won’t provide a way to accurately assess Windows 10’s update

We want to hear your feedback! We’re sharing Technical Preview releases early so we can understand exactly how customers are using our software and make sure we are designing our experiences to address those scenarios. The more
specific the feedback, the more helpful it is for us – saying “I hate the new Windows Update UI” isn’t very useful, but when we see “I need to be able to tell Windows Update to grab updates from WU itself and not from my internal corporate server, so the new
Windows Update UI is painful for me”, we can actually understand what changes we could make to solve those specific problems. We can’t promise to fix everything that everyone asks for – and sometimes what one customer wants is exactly what another customer
doesn’t want – but the more you can help us understand why you want something changed, the better we can try to meet those needs.
Thanks for listening, and we look forward to hearing your responses.

Windows phone emulator not working with windows 10 technical preview 9926

I recently updated my computer to technical preview 9926 and now when I launch the windows phone emulator in 2013 visual studio for windows. It says "Starting windows phone OS" for like 10 minutes. Then it gives me an error message:
windows phone emulator is unable to connect to the windows phone operating system: The phone did not respond to the connect request. Some functionality might be disabled. And then it will boot up for a little and the home search and back
button wont work and it will never deploy my app then it will crash and bring me back to visual studio. My hyper v is turned on I have checked all the network switches. The emulator used to work with the technical preview but ever since the newest update
it stopped working.
Any help would be appreciated.

Hi mavese,

Currently, Windows 10 is still in the Technical Preview stage, it is not official supported in this forum, and I would suggest you sending feedback using build-in way, please refer to this link:

X-Fi Titanium on Windows 10 Technical Preview 2 (build 9926) - anyone made it work?

As in title - was anyone able to make this soundcard work on latest build of windows 10? Installing windows 8.1 driver on previous technical preview was making the card work, installing on current build is close to pointless as card is not working properly and creative control panel can't start as it can't find device.

That had better not be an official response from this company, because the backlash may well be more than they can bear.
Yea, we'll update our cards if we have to, but it won't be to another creative product.
In their case, "good will" is the only **** thing that will keep the lights on...
