Calling all MR Partners!
Want to help create better mixed reality experiences for all? The new Fall Insider Flight Preview is now ready for testing!
Calling all MR Partners: Test the new Insider Flight for HoloLens today!
Read more information and instructions on how to load the new Insider Flight build in the detailed Release Notes here.
This new build comes jam packed with numerous new features and improvements, so be sure to test it with your own application(s) that currently run on HoloLens 2 to ensure a smooth process when the build is officially shipped this fall!
Note: We recommend using the Dev Channel for testing as it will be the fastest even though both the Dev and Beta channels should work.
