From Academy Award-winning filmmaker Peter Jackson comes “The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies,” the third in a trilogy of films adapting the enduringly popular masterpiece The Hobbit, by J.R.R. Tolkien.

“The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies” brings to an epic conclusion the adventures of Bilbo Baggins, Thorin Oakenshield and the Company of Dwarves. Having reclaimed their homeland from the Dragon Smaug, the Company has unwittingly unleashed a deadly force into the world. Enraged, Smaug rains his fiery wrath down upon the defenseless men, women and children of Lake-town.

Obsessed above all else with his reclaimed treasure, Thorin sacrifices friendship and honor to hoard it as Bilbo’s frantic attempts to make him see reason drive the Hobbit towards a desperate and dangerous choice.

Almost as surprising as deciding to skip Windows 9 in favour of 10 is the fact that Microsoft has released a "Technical Preview" for the next version of Windows, so you can try out its fancy new (old?) Start menu all for yourself. Here we take you through how to download and install the OS, whether you have a dedicated test machine ripe for the purpose, want to run the Windows 10 Preview alongside your current Windows 7 or Windows 8 installation or would rather play it safe with a virtual machine.

PREPARING YOUR INSTALLER
The first step is to download the Windows 10 ISO. There are several versions here; we downloaded the UK English 64-bit version, as our test computers were all 64-bit compatible. To see if your PC can run Windows 10, have a look at the Windows 10 requirements page; the most stringent requirement is that the operating system requires 16GB of free storage space.

How you proceed really depends on what you want to use your test PC for. If you'll no longer need the operating system it's currently running, you can just install Windows 10 over the top; we tried this with both Windows 7 and Windows 8. Bear in mind that this will destroy your previous installation, so be prepared to reinstall the previous OS from scratch from whatever recovery media you have if you no longer want to use Windows 10. Other options include installing it as a fresh install (see below), dual-booting with your current OS or installing it on a virtual machine (see page two, using the navigation at the bottom of the article). We talk you through the benefits of all options, although the clean install is our preferred method.

INSTALLING OVER YOUR CURRENT OS
To install over the top of your current OS, copy the ISO you downloaded to a USB drive and plug it into your test machine. Double-click the WindowsTechnicalPreview-x64-EN-GB Disc Image to mount the image, then double-click the setup file. If you're running Windows 7, you'll first need to install the free Slysoft Virtual CloneDrive application from Slysoft in order to be able to mount disc images.

The Windows Technical Preview Setup program will take you through the installation process; there's not much to it apart from asking whether you'd like to keep your Windows settings and personal files (by this the installer means your documents rather than any system files - installing Windows 10 is irreversible). The installer will do its thing and reboot a couple of times before Windows 10 is fully installed.

CREATING A WINDOWS 10 USB BOOT DRIVE
If you're installing from scratch or aiming to create a dual-boot system with Windows 10 and Windows 7 or 8 (see below), you'll need to create a bootable USB drive. You'll need a model with at least 8GB capacity, which you should plug into your computer. Our preferred program to create the bootable drive is Rufus, which is both more reliable and gives you more choices than any other tool. Plug in your USB drive (double-check there's nothing on it you need, as it will all be lost), download Rufus and run it.

If you have a PC or laptop with a modern UEFI boot environment, as opposed to the older BIOS, which will probably be the case if you've bought your PC or laptop in the last three years, use the settings below for Rufus. If you have an earlier machine with a BIOS, the instructions are the same but you need to change the Partition scheme drop-down from GPT to MBR, or the computer won’t recognise the USB boot drive.

From the Device drop-down, select your USB drive. From the Partition scheme menu select GPT partition scheme for UEFI computer and from the File system drop-down select Fat32. Tick Quick format and Create a bootable disk using… and select ISO Image from the drop-down box. Now click the icon with a DVD drive and a disc, browse to the Windows 10 ISO file you downloaded and double-click to open it. Once Rufus has scanned the image, click Start to create the bootable USB drive; this will take around 25 minutes.


INSTALLING FROM SCRATCH
The best way to run Windows 10 is to put it on a complete machine and make sure that the OS is the only operating system. There are two ways that you can do this. First, you can take an old PC or laptop you no longer need and install Windows 10 from scratch, overwriting its operating system. Secondly, you can take a spare hard disk and put it in your PC, installing Windows 10 on that. If you want to use two hard disks, the best way is to power down your computer and unplug your current hard disk, then install the secondary hard disk. Once you've installed Windows 10, you can plug the old hard disk in as well and use your computer's BIOS or UEFI to choose which hard disk to boot from: Windows 10 or your old OS.

Plug your USB boot drive (see above) into your test machine, turn it on and go into the machine's UEFI or BIOS. This usually involves pressing one of the F keys, such as F2, or the delete key repeatedly as you power the computer on. Go into the Boot section of the setup menu and make sure your USB drive is the first boot option. The setup program may list the USB drive as a hard disk, so you'll need to go into the hard disk boot priority section and put the Windows 10 USB drive ahead of your computer's actual hard disk. Depending on the machine, you may have to turn off options such as Secure boot, or enable Boot from external device. Save your settings and exit.

If you're having trouble getting into the UEFI or BIOS on a Windows 8 machine, plug in your USB boot drive and then try the following method. Bring up the Charms bar, then select Settings and Change PC settings. Select Update and recovery, click Recovery and, in the Advanced start-up section, click Restart now. Once your computer has restarted, click the Use a device option and select your (UEFI) USB boot drive; Windows should load the Windows 10 setup from the drive. We found this was the only way we could get a Surface Pro to boot from USB.


Your computer should now boot straight into the Windows 10 setup program, which is almost identical to that of Windows 8. When you get to the 'Which type of installation do you want' screen, select the 'Custom: Install Windows only (advanced)' option. As long as you're sure you don’t want the old computer's operating system, you can go ahead and delete all the partitions and click Next to install.

Bradley Cooper and Sienna Miller star in director Clint Eastwood’s military drama American Sniper, based on the memoir by Chris Kyle. Check out the movie trailer and photos below. The story recounts Navy SEAL Chris Kyle’s (Cooper) extraordinary battlefield experiences, which includes more than 150 confirmed kills.

From director Clint Eastwood comes “American Sniper,” starring Bradley Cooper as Chris Kyle, the most lethal sniper in U.S. military history. But there was much more to him than his skill as a sharpshooter. U.S. Navy SEAL Chris Kyle is sent to Iraq with only one mission: to protect his brothers-in-arms. His pinpoint accuracy saves countless lives on the battlefield and, as stories of his courageous exploits spread, he earns the nickname “Legend.” However, his reputation is also growing behind enemy lines, putting a price on his head and making him a prime target of insurgents. He is also facing a different kind of battle on the home front: striving to be a good husband and father from halfway around the world. Despite the danger, as well as the toll on his family at home, Chris serves through four harrowing tours of duty in Iraq, personifying the SEAL creed to “leave no man behind.” But upon returning to his wife, Taya Renae Kyle (Sienna Miller), and kids, Chris finds that it is the war he can’t leave behind.

Announcing Windows 10

It’s a humbling and amazing thing to work on Windows, which is used by over 1.5 billion people in every country of the world. From kids playing with computers for the first time, to writers and journalists, to engineers, to gamers, to CEOs, at some point Windows has empowered all of us.

In the Windows team, we’re proud of this – but we also know that the world today is very different from the one in which Windows grew up. Today, devices outnumber people. Connectivity is like oxygen. The tension between the desire for agility versus stability poses a huge challenge for IT Pros. Experiences – no matter what device you’re on – just need to work. The only thing that hasn’t really changed is the situation for developers – still too much to do, and not enough time.

One way to look at it is that Windows is at a threshold. It’s time for a new Windows. This new Windows must be built from the ground-up for a mobile-first, cloud-first world. This new Windows must help our customers be productive in both their digital work and their digital life. This new Windows must empower people and organizations to do great things.

Start menu: The familiar Start menu is back, but it brings with it a new customizable space for your favorite apps and Live Tiles.

Everything runs in a window: Apps from the Windows Store now open in the same format that desktop apps do and can be resized and moved around, and have title bars at the top allowing for maximize, minimize, and close with a click.

Snap enhancements: You can now have four apps snapped on the same screen with a new quadrant layout. Windows will also show other apps and programs running for additional snapping and even make smart suggestions on filling available screen space with other open apps.

New task view button: There’s a new task-view button on the taskbar for quick switching between open files and quick access to any desktops you create.

Multiple desktops: Create desktops for different purposes and projects and switch between these desktops easily and pick up where you left off on each desktop.

Find files faster: File Explorer now displays your recent files and frequently visited folders making for finding files you’ve worked on is easier.


When the download is complete, transfer the ISO file to installation media such as a DVD or USB flash drive.

Double-tap or double-click setup.exe from the installation media, and then follow the step

Download and install the preview only if you

Want to try out software that’s still in development and like sharing your opinion about it.

Don’t mind lots of updates or a UI design that might change significantly over time.

Really know your way around a PC and feel comfortable troubleshooting problems, backing up data, formatting a hard drive, installing an operating system from scratch, or restoring your old one if necessary.

Know what an ISO file is and how to use it.

Aren't installing it on your everyday computer.

We're not kidding about the expert thing. So if you think BIOS is a new plant-based fuel, Tech Preview may not be right for you.

Unexpected PC crashes could damage or even delete your files, so you should back up everything. Some printers and other hardware might not work, and some software might not install or work correctly, including antivirus or security programs. You might also have trouble connecting to home or corporate networks.

Also, if your PC runs into problems, Microsoft will likely examine your system files. If the privacy of your system files is a concern, consider using a different PC. For more info, read our privacy statement.

If you use a mouse and keyboard

Your apps and devices should work as expected, though of course there will be exceptions. We’d love to know what you think about how the new Windows works with mouse and keyboard and whether it provides the best of new and familiar functionality for Windows and apps.

If you want to go back to your previous operating system

You'll need to re-install your version of Windows from the recovery or installation media that came with your PC (typically DVD media).
