If you are a member of the Windows 10 Insider Program you can install Windows 10 19H2 Preview Build. Here are the full steps.

I used Google Chrome for the download portion of this guide. I strongly recommend that you use Google Chrome. When I tried some steps on Microsoft Edge, I received a different set of results.

Here are the steps to download Windows 10 19H2 Preview Build ISO:

  • Login to your computer and open Insider.Windows.com.
  • To login to your Insider account, click the sign in icon on the top right corner of the page (highlighted below).

Step 2: Create a DVD with the ISO File

When the ISO file is fully downloaded, you need to create a DVD using the ISO file. You can use a DVD burner software but Windows 10 has an in-built burner.

Alternatively, you could simply mount the ISO file.

Here are the steps to either burn the file to a DVD or mount it:

  • Open the path you saved the ISO file. Then right-click the file.
  • To mount the file, select Mount.

  • The ISO will be mounted into an available drive and open automatically.
  • If on the other hand you prefer to burn to a DVD, right-click the file then select Burn disk image.

Step 3: Install Windows 10 19H2 Preview Build

Once you have mounted or created a DVD, move to the next step. For the purpose of this guide, I will use the mount option.

You need at least 12GB free space on your computer to run Windows 10 setup. Ensure you have enough space before you proceed.

Here are the steps to install Windows 10 19H2:

  • Mount the ISO as described in the previews section.
  • Then open the drive the ISO file was mounted and double-click setup.
The ISO is mounted like a DVD. You can access it by opening File Explorer. Then open This PC.
  • On the User Access Control prompt, click Yes.
  • Then wait for Windows 10 installer to get ready.
  • At Install Windows 10 screen, to begin install of Windows 10 19H2, click Next. Then wait for the installer to check for updates online.
  • Once it has received updates, the installer will perform some pre-installation tasks.
  • Then the Applicable notices and licence terms screen will load. Click Accept.
  • Wait for the installer to download required updates.
  • When the updates are downloaded, the wizard will perform more checks..
