    Windows 10 clean install local account for some reason is an Insider Preview account?


    Hi,

    I recently installed a clean version of Windows 10 on a new machine that was built. Once this installation process took place, I put all the other drives into the machine, and went to update windows. However, only to find that it is an Insider build! I never installed an insider build ISO, and the only thing I can think of since it is a local account is that it read another drive that had windows 10 on it, probably an insider build, and set the clean install to that! I am unsure however, as this is a computer for a friend. Is there any way to remove the insider without signing into a microsoft account? I think that the only way would be to reinstall windows and I don't really want to go through all that effort...

    If it helps, since I turned off sending diagnostic data, it won't install any insider builds its currently on 20H2 unless I turn that on, but it doesn't make sense since it is a clean install AND a local account aswell...


    Thanks for your help!

    :)
