How to Run Ubuntu on latest Windows 10 Insider Preview Build 14316

Here's How to Run native Bash on Ubuntu on Windows

Step 1: Enroll in the Windows Insider program and Select "Advanced Windows Update options" under "System Settings."






Step 2: Set your update ambition to "the fast ring".





Step 3: Now turn ON "Developer Mode" via Settings → Update & security → For developers, as this new feature is specifically meant for developers.





Step 4: You now need to check for new updates (Insider Preview Build 14316), apply all updates, and then Restart your system.





Step 5: Turn ON the new Windows feature, "Windows Subsystem for Linux (Beta)".





Note: You need a 64-bit version of Windows. Without it, you won't see the new option.


Step 6: Reboot your system.


Step 7: Now Press the Start button and type 'Bash' or simply open Command Prompt and type 'bash.' This will launch a console window powered by Ubuntu's user-space.





Bingo! Now experience Bash just as good as it's in variants of Linux.

Microsoft is adding the Linux command line to Windows 10

Microsoft is reaching out to Linux developers in a way that the company never has before. "The Bash shell is coming to Windows. Yes, the real Bash is coming to Windows," said Microsoft's Kevin Gallo on stage at today's Build 2016 keynote. The announcement received an uproarious applause from the crowd. The new functionality will be enabled as part of this summer's Anniversary Update to Windows 10.

"This is not a VM. This is not cross-compiled tools. This is native," he said. "We've partnered with Canonical to offer this great experience, which you'll be able to download right from the Windows Store." Third-party tools have enabled this sort of thing for years, but a direct partnership between Microsoft and Canonical should offer even more flexibility and convenience for developers who prefer using these binaries and tools.

More importantly, it represents Microsoft's refreshing stance on open-source development. VP Terry Myerson teased "more coming soon" in regards to other possibilities signaling a modernized and extremely open Windows 10. This blog post by Microsoft's Scott Hanselman offers a deeper explanation of the move. "This is brilliant for developers that use a diverse set of tools like me," he said. "This is a genuine Ubuntu image on top of Windows with all the Linux tools I use."



Update: Microsoft has posted a very in-depth video covering Bash on Windows, which we've embedded at the top of this article. It should answer just about any question you might have

[Latest] Microsoft Silently Re-Enables Windows 10 Upgrades on Windows 7 and 8.1 PCs

Microsoft's getting ready for the more aggressive upgrade phase of Windows 10 – when the new OS will show up first as optional, and then as recommended download in Windows Update – so the company has recently made some changes to Windows 7 and 8.1 PCs to make sure that more computers get it.

Basically, settings on PCs that were previously configured not to receive the upgrade to Windows 10 have been reset and it appears that one of the updates that Microsoft deployed on Windows 7 and 8.1 PCs keeps checking every day to make sure that no other changes are made to this behavior.

Update being re-offered several times

The information comes from the creator of GWX Control Panel, an application developed to block the upgrade to Windows 10.

"Over Thanksgiving weekend I started getting reports that the Windows Update 'AllowOSUpgrade' setting was getting flipped back on on a number of peoples' PCs, and it keeps re-setting itself at least once a day if they switch it back off," Josh Mayfield was quoted.

In other words Windows 7 and 8.1 computers can now easily receive the upgrade to Windows 10 and for the moment, there doesn't seem to be any other way to stop this from happening than to manually refuse the new OS.

It's all being made through recently-shipped Windows updates for older versions, and according to Mayfield, the very same update is being re-offered again and again.

"Microsoft has released this update several times," Mayfield continued. "It doesn't change the name of the update, but every version is new, with new binary files."

Starting in early 2016, seeing Windows 10 in Windows Update will be quite normal, as Microsoft changes its strategy and makes it an optional update for everyone. At a later time, the upgrade will become “recommended update,” so it becomes harder to avoid installing Windows 10 if you really wish to keep your computer fully patched.
