Miscellaneous[edit | edit source]
- The boot logo has been temporarily changed to a minimalist betta fish.
- The OOBE has a new color picker, which is similar to the one found in the RTM.
Bugs and quirks[edit | edit source]
- The states of Windows Recovery Environment recovery partitions created from earlier Windows installs are not migrated during system upgrades.
- Some Radeon cards from the era cannot be used in this build due to the drivers failing the digital signature check. A workaround is to disable driver signature enforcement from the advanced boot options menu every time the machine starts up, or enable test signing.
