Sandbox Preview/Non Preview-

Sandbox Instances are split up in two groups – Preview and Non-Preview. Preview Instances are instances which get upgraded to the newer version of Salesforce before Production Instances (e.g. NA2, EU1, AP0) and Non-Preview Instances are upgraded towards the end of a Major Release along with the majority of Production Instances as few customers want to delay the upgrade on one or more sandboxes due to requirements around specific projects.

sandbox preview starts approximately 4-6 weeks before the production upgrade, cut off date for preview sandbox is 29th May.

You can key in your instance name like cs87 at the instance of the below url to understand what action to be take to stay in preview/non preview mode-
