Hi Draganacs,

It's great to here your taking part in the Windows 10 technical preview. So if I'm understanding your question correctly I'm going to try and answer it. First of all you will need to download the Xbox App. You go to the Store search for the Xbox app and
then download it. If you have already done this than great.

Now if I'm understanding your question correctly I think your asking about how to set up streaming gameplay or cross platform gameplay between your Xbox and a windows 10 PC?

If this is what your asking then I'm sorry to say this feature is not available yet, and because this is preview software I can not give you a confirmed date when this will happen. All I can do is tell you to keep an eye on the windows 10 update build page

Februarys Features:

The next generation of Windows: Windows 10 - Windows Experience Blog

Januarys Features:

January build now available to the Windows Insider Program - Windows Experience Blog

And also keep an eye on the Xbox wire page
http://news.xbox.com/2015/02/xbox-app-on-windows-10-february-2015-feature-summary

These pages will tell you what features have been added on each build when it is released.

I hope this answers your question. If it does not please replay to this post, thanks.

 

All will be revealed on
January 21st at the Microsoft conference.

Until then, everything is rumor, speculation and educated guesses.

Looking forward to hearing the confirmed details, myself

 

I don't think it's rumor or speculation, Microsoft announced their intentions ( one OS for multiple devices) back in September on their own blog and followed the announcement up with interviews with several gaming sites.

It's been discussed here several times and it's a popular topic in the PC gaming world considering how soon it's being released after the disaster called Windows 8.

According to what they said in September the December announcement ( or as they said early 2015) would be specifics on how game and app development would work between platforms.

 

These current Xbox One console getting Windows 10 and Cross Platform features in 2015 rumors "MUST" be officially confirmed as actual "FACTS" in 2015 next year actually, Microsoft would "DEEPLY" anger and dissappoint current Xbox One owners in 2015 next
year if these current rumors are proven to be just a falsehood and a hoax folks!

 

Lets hope this is not true.

 

If it means having a Windows computer in my house, then it really makes no difference to me what they announce.

 

we all know XB1 is W10 ready and capable.. we all know MS has stated a main part of W10 is cross platform talking... We all have seen the MS release graphic of W10 with a TV, a tablet, a phone and an xbox... Phill Spencer will be at the Windows event,
on stage to talk about W10.. Phill is head of XB1... Do we have to draw people a picture?

Some people on here need that "picture" to actually be drawn for them tohellnbak, hmmm, I myself have actually been to hell n back amigo!

 

Humm... Steam games on the X1?

 

Lol, I already have a PC, Maybe I'll go back to PC gaming then.

 

Steam / Steam PC games on the Xbox One next gen console would be AWESOME and EPIC folks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

It will be a dashboard using the windows 10 coding, cross compatibility means buying an app or game on the pc and not having to buy it again on the phone or tablet etc. etc. we could see cross platform gaming online, holds breath, but the dashboard wont
change too much as it will only be using windows 10 core services.

 

Not fussed I'm a Mac and iPhone/ iPad user. Still interested to see what it brings.
