Microsoft's ambitious next-generation operating system, Windows 10, has attained RTM (release to market) status. This marks the official end of product development, and the beginning of its distribution. Windows 10 RTM (build 10240) is that version which will be transmitted to PC OEM partners (to pre-install on their new notebooks and desktops), physical media manufacturers, and to the team handling GWX (Get Windows 10), the tool that upgrades existing eligible Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 installations to their applicable variants of the new OS. Microsoft will officially launch Windows 10 on 29th July, 2015.

Musselsto the hardware. you could run a spare hard drive with windows 7/8, upgrade that and it should transfer.
the key is a generic one and it verifies online by the microsoft account.


you need to be logged into your microsoft account before it will get the latest updates.
I am. I think it's because it's so close to release date, they aren't pushing any more builds through update. The ISO files have also been removed from the MS Insider site.

racedaemonDoes anyone know if a insider license is transferable from a VM to a new PC without a previous OS? Is the key linked to the Microsoft account or the "hardware", basically stopping me from running the OS on real hardware?

Anyway, i don't think Win 10 is ready for launch yet. The mix in new and old settings windows is somewhat reminiscent of not finished open source projects. Also while reading this topic Win 10 gave me the infamous "Display driver stopped responding and has recovered" message... in the VM.
Why would you need to transfer the license? Any OS that is signed up for the Insider Builds is seen as legitimate.

i think he means for the win 7/8 upgrade process, so he can transfer off the insider.
