Can you share your windows iTunes install method without having the required Xcode on Mac? I have a developer account, but no Mac.
Got a tip for us?

Apple was defeated, and theres a command line way to get the upgrade done on Windows
Everyone’s experience will be different, as others have said, do a backup before you give it a go.
I’ve found it not too bad so far, but I’m going into it expecting issues as I always do with betas. So far though my only problem has been my banking app, it keeps crashing on dark mode. Switched back to normal mode and it works fine.

If it was stable enough for that it wouldn't be labeled a "Preview". It's really that simple.
You might get by to some degree, but there's always a high risk of unexpected behavior, non-functioning features or apps. If not this build, the next one.
No big issues for me, so far, on the phone. Smart battery case was not recognized until a restart so the phone did not charge correctly. It all works now. One thing that was broken for me before still is now, Personal Hotspot. It has not worked for some time, over a year. I can with playing around get it connected but its a pain. I have reset network settings which was no help. Anyhow, the majority of use has been without major issue. I do expect to deal with something on beta so I was prepared.
Running fine on my iPhone X, iPad mini 4 and iPad pro 10.5"
I’m running 13 on my XS max, iPad Pro and iPad mini (newest one). I downloaded this knowing full well the risks I was taking in doing so but I have a anothe iPhone that I could have used in the event of a total disaster. So far so good. Nothing is crashing. A few bugs here and there but the no issues with the apps I use (mostly twitter, FB and flight tracking app). Some things are faster and some aren’t. I’m noticing that safari pages load slowly on my phone but load faster on my iPad Pro.
I’d call it solid and very useable (with the occasional quirk) except for email can be very iffy- Doesn’t seem to be recognizing email as read when it was viewed on another device and I can’t seem to reliable send or receive email with attachments. Full disclosure I’m not sure it isn’t the fault of MobileIron and how it manages attachments for Enterprise users.
Well.. No major problems with apps or battery but today no one has been able to call me. But outgoing calls work.
Xs Max. Runs fine for me. So far only 2 resprings in 24 hours. Battery life not great. About 80% of what I normally get so not horrible. Odd behavior in mail where it will load a message 2 down from the one I used a gesture to go back from or when i swipe to archive.
If you remember last year one of the biggest annoyances with iOS 12 beta came late in the cycle:
So keep in mind just because it may seem okay at first doesn't mean it is, or will be that way the whole beta cycle.
That had absolutely zero effect on the stability or functionality of the beta you know..
A pop up that appears every time you use the device or open notifications affects usability, which is the main point of wanting stability. And if you tried to change the date to avoid interruption that would then reduce your functionality.
Anyway my point is, it's a beta so you always have to be prepared in case things don't go smoothly.
That was terrible! I reverted temporarily because of that!If you remember last year one of the biggest annoyances with iOS 12 beta came late in the cycle:
