Windows 10: Can I still install a fresh copy of Win 10 Insider Preview?

Discus and support Can I still install a fresh copy of Win 10 Insider Preview? in Windows 10 Installation and Upgrade to solve the problem; I think I understand. To confirm - you're saying that it's totally legal to install a fresh instance of a non licensed Windows 10 insider preview?...

    Yep. That's why Microsoft built it to operate without activation the way that it does.

    Great, thanks.

    Let's go one step further. Could one, in theory, legally clone one's activated Win10 Insider preview hard drive, to multiple hard drives?

    As long as they were not activated - or were activated on different computers that had a Windows license available for use.

    I accept this is true for the release versions - however the EULAs for Insider versions are different. Do we have enough knowledge to categorically say this applies to Insider versions?

    In fact, I have seen responses on other forums from MS that actually recommend doing it as dual boot (or vm) as OP would like (cannot prove this though with a link).

    The other thing is, if the Insider preview is basically free, why would anyone splash out hundreds for the retail version? Who cares about a slight watermark.

    Because insider previews expire and some people, like me, don't want to have to keep loading new builds of Windows just to be able to keep using it. Also insider previews are not as well tested as the release versions and will contain more bugs.
