Windows 10 Build 10056 Leaks, Download Links Available

[Raptor]

We’re approaching the weekend, and it can only mean one thing. Which is the fact that Windows 10 build 10056 has leaked with links made available to download in the usual places.

As has been the case previously, Microsoft partners have leaked a preview version of the OS just before the weekend. With the very obvious intention of allowing fans and enthusiasts a chance to try out the latest build of the operating system over the break.

We already know that this version comes with a new Recycle Bin icon, Spartan as the default browser and a host of other UI touchups.



Redmond, of course, doesn't recommend that users install these leaks build, and the company does not usually provide support and updates for these versions.

That is, if you don’t plan on running these builds in virtual machines or on secondary computers.

With the latest version of Windows 10 for Phones now out in the open, attention now shifts to the next desktop build of the operating system that Microsoft will officially release to Windows Insiders, hopefully in the next week or so.
