Understanding different versions
Alpha version: A very early test version – missing some important features, and will probably have bugs.

Update ChannelsIf you want to join beta testing
You will need to decide whether you want to install to a new User Account (recommended) or overwrite your Gold installation with the beta, which means:
if you want to go back to the Gold version you have to completely uninstall then reinstall
you have to be prepared to handle problems with a potentially unstable program
you will not be able to manage your current preparation/study schedule with certainty
There will be several releases (usually designated as beta 1, beta 2, etc.) and the best method to install your first program is to use the installation link provided in the beta forum, which then puts you on the beta channel.
