As this is not an official way of installing Arc, if you encounter any issues do NOT report them to the developers, they did not intend for people to be running Arc on Windows 10.

This guide is a bit more manual since I wanted to respect the developers' wishes and not directly link any downloads to the beta of Arc.

I don't know how this will work with updates, you may just need to redo the process to update it, but I'm not sure

Install this font: https://aka.ms/SegoeFluentIcons (this fixes the icons since Windows 10 doesn't have this font installed by default)

Find the mainpackage @Uri, it should end in Arc.x64.msix, and open that in a new tab. It should download that msix file.

I was recently reminded of some reading I did in college, way back in the last century, by a British historian arguing that the critical technology, for the early phase of the industrial revolution, was gin.

The transformation from rural to urban life was so sudden, and so wrenching, that the only thing society could do to manage was to drink itself into a stupor for a generation. The stories from that era are amazing-- there were gin pushcarts working their way through the streets of London.

And it wasn't until society woke up from that collective bender that we actually started to get the institutional structures that we associate with the industrial revolution today. Things like public libraries and museums, increasingly broad education for children, elected leaders--a lot of th
