    No it dose not make any sense, sorry, how can you say where all these functions are when you do not know what phone we are talking about, just confusing a simple situation.

    What should I do in this situation?

    Booting from W10 installation media (DVD or USB) will allow you to start the Recovery Environment if the hard disk is still alive. If you have previously performed 'Create Recovery Drive' then use that instead.

    You can create installation media on another machine with the mediacreationtool.exe available here.

    Nothing to worry about. We all have that "expiry date on our Insider Preview.
    Microsoft will release a new build way way before the expiry date. They won't left us out in the cold.
    Relax.

    A new build has been released. Build 14352.
    Check your Windows Update.

    Here is mine with the expiry date.

    Interesting expiry date as it is usually several months ahead.

    We know redstone is to be released by end of July.

    I am guessing redstone will be released to Insiders by that expiry date, so you upgrade to that a few days ahead of official release just like happened with 10586.

    So Insiders will get redstone by 15/07/16?

    That's because you replaced your OS with a Preview version which is set to expire on the said date. You can always revert back to official the 10586 build. But you have nothing to worry about the license. Your OS will automatically gets activated whatever you do with it.
