Windows 10: Announcing Windows 10 Insider Preview Build 10586 for PC

Now that you mention it I remember that. I cant remember if they re numbered 10240 before it made RTM or not I'll have to look but it all sounds plausible that 10586 or most of it would be the th2 /RTM .

Only thing different is * IIRC * aside from no water mark I think 10240 had a licence /EULA splash screen or something like that that the other test build updates didn't have ?

 

They didn't renumber 10240. We had it on our computers for awhile before July 29.

 

Right ......I remember when we had it but I don't remember looking at the RTM build # when I upgraded the other PC 's here and my other primary partition on this dual booter. RTM could just as well be labeled 10240 like U say . .

I'll take a look .

Update no build version in "about my computer "in RTM just the product number ,descroption and edition but RTM is probably 10240 or most of it . ☺

 

If it doesn't expire, do all Insiders with comps that didn't qualify for a free upgrade, effectively get a free one anyway??

Must be a catch. Maybe there is a secret expiry date*Smile

 

It will expire ...... it's in the test build distribution channel you can bet they have it tattoed ☻.......MS aint giving up nothing permanent for niothing !

 

Go to your Insider Hub > right side > it tells you th1_10240 (Core ) or ( Pro )

This is screenshot of my Win 10 Home, Insider Hub.

 

they have Inasider hub in RTM ?

 

Of course.
You will have to enable it.
Start > Settings > System > Apps & Features > right side, Manage Optional Features > Add a feature > scroll down to Insider Hub > click it > click Install > wait a bit > go to All apps > under alphabet I........

 

Just got back into this OS , I Googled it and I installed the insider hub in RTM on the other NTFS volume and it was all there just like you said !

Maybe I'll put it in here also no info in the feedback app .but insider hub app has info and news ...cool !

Update :
Dang I had it ( Insider hub ) in *this test build * 10586 and earlier all along just not pinned to the tile menu. It looks like they are updating the news and links in there as recently as today ☺

 

Win10586 installed like a breeze, no problem what so ever. Like the previous builds it uninstalled "8Gadgetspack" which regenerated automatically. It also uninstalled "Speccy" which required new installation. No watermark on the screen this time. This Build is identified in System as Windows 10 Pro Version 1511, Build 10586 with the activation number.

 

FYI in 10586 typing " winver " into task bar search brought up this :





This must be Threshold AKA the fall update to RTM ofc the question remains are our insider versions tattooed to expire at some point although "slmgr /xpr" in a Command Prompt does not report any expiration date and there is no watermark.



I'm still thinking our 10586 versions have some sort of expiration though maybe this will hit the street ( RTM ) in a week or two

 

There is none for the obvious reason that it is the Fall Update and not a preview build. It is the build that will be released to the general public on the 15th (if Microsoft is serious about the name, "Windows 10 1511"). To release a download link would lead to a stampede of non-insiders to get the official build ahead of the release. I'm sure Microsoft has events planned around the rollout and doesn't want the impact of the public announcement blunted by everybody and his brother already running it.
