Windows 10 PC build 10162 heads to Slow ring preview users today

Windows Insider members signed up for Slow ring update for the PC version of Windows 10 will finally be able to get a new build soon. Microsoft plans to release build 10162, which launched for Fast ring members last week, to the Slow ring later today.

Microsoft has already released build 10162 as stand alone ISO files for users interested in handling a fresh install on their PC. The current build reportedly has reliability, performance, battery life, and compatibility improvements over older preview versions. Microsoft is said to be preparing a Release To Manufacturer (RTM) build of Windows 10 for release later this week to its OEM partners. However, it's likely that Windows Insider members on the Fast Ring will continue to receive updates until the official launch date of July 29.
