    Build 10130 activated itself, should I still enter the act code I have


    When I installed build 10310 it did not ask for the activation code but when I checked in Control Panel it said it was already activated, so do I still need to enter the Activation Code 6P99N-YF42M-TPGBG-9VMJP-YKHCF ?

    It seems strange that the activation code is given on this site and on Windows Insider download site and then it is not required.

    I installed to a newly formatted and partitioned HD.

    :)

    Does installing Winows 10 Technical preview make me eligible for the full version when it's released?

    Only if you installed it from within an activated copy of Windows 7/8.1 and then activated the Insider Preview Build though your Microsoft Account. However, if you are still on Build 10130, which is well past it's "sell-by date" then the answer would probably
    be "No", as you should have installed further Build updates right up to the release of Windows 10 and they should have been activated.

    I suggest you check the Insider Preview Activation status for your installation through the System Menu.

    download any of the expired preview builds

    install and use code VK7JG-NPHTM-C97JM-9MPGT-3V66T

    update to a non-expired build.

    did it on a test machine today, starting with build 10130 and i am now activated on build 10525

    At the moment, you don't need it.
