There are 10 million Windows fans, enthusiasts, and professionals in Microsoft's Windows Insider Program who are all curious about what Windows 10 will bring next. Here is an overview of the program.

Microsoft offers the Windows Insider Program as an optional service so customers may test the upcoming version of Windows before it is released to the general public. The initiative is geared for beta testers of new software and early adopters, sometimes known as the "enthusiast" audience. Microsoft urges testers to submit feedback on their experiences using a customized program that includes ratings and a location to leave notes to the Windows development team in addition to just using the software. The Windows Insider Program is essentially a huge beta. It has three "rings" or levels: Rings for Fast, Slow, and Release Preview. Insiders in the Fast ring receive incomplete versions of Windows 10 from Microsoft, and they provide input to the company about what they like, don't like, and any problems they may be having. If that build proves to be sufficiently stable, it is advanced to the Slow ring and finally reaches the Release Preview ring. Given that the Insider Program is currently in beta, participants should be aware that occasionally a build published through it may present problems.

Pros of being a Windows Insider • Initially test new features The primary benefit of the Windows Insider Program is that users get to test new features before anybody else. Sure, some of the features might not be complete, but for the most part, the things that do appear in builds for Insiders are largely finished. This occasionally results in Insiders using new features months before they are released formally. This is useful if you're a developer or IT expert checking that the planned features won't have any significant effects.

• Influence the development of Windows new version Of course, the fact that Microsoft pays attention to its users is one of the best aspects about the Insider Program. Microsoft invites Insiders to provide input on any topic, including problems, recommendations, and original ideas. Microsoft could even use your suggestion and incorporate it into Windows, depending on how well-liked your comment is.

• Be a part of the community Last but not least, the Windows Insider Program is one big community. A community of 10 million people, in fact, according to Microsoft. That's a lot of people who share similar interests and ideas. If you're a fan of Microsoft or Windows, the Insider Program is a great place to meet other people who are also interested in those things. Sometimes there are even Insider meetups, where you can go in person and meet other people.

Conclusion Microsoft Insider program is an opportunity which lets you contribute in the making of future along with providing and amazing platform to interact with the community consisting like minded people.
