I just tried "Mixed Reality Portal" in insider preview build 15027, the portal cannot find my Oculus Rift, even if the compatibility check is pass and the device is plugged in and working fine (see attached screenshots).

So my questions are:
1. Is there official statement according to a list of headsets the portal support?
2. How about avaliability of those headsets?
3. I noticed that Mixed Reality has been removed since build 15025 (found in changewindows, sorry I am limited to post a link), do you know the reason and when will it be back?

I hope Microsoft can guidence on how to experience MR device in preview build and update document regularly.

Thank you!

not surprised, dougy drivers are the main reason Microsoft has trouble giving Windows away
