Windows 10: Windows Insiders to be upgraded to Windows 10 RTM regardless of licens

I am in The Insiders Program, there must be something to this as I received an email from them wanting to know if I wanted to update Windows 7.

 

I have the same offer. I'M already on Windows 8.1. lol. Not going to do this because I like my triple boot set up.

 

It was a shotgun eMail ... I received it too. I was confused because I'm running 8.1 - did MS have wrong information about my machine? Did I enter the wrong version somewhere when I registered for the Insider Program or set up an MS account?

After reading about the KB required to upgrade and how to tell if the KB was installed (Search icon on Start) I realized it was a blanket eMail.

Pretty much as you said Miles, marketing sparkle. It pissed me off because I wasted time double checking my machine and I'm an active Insider (as well as being active on other MS real estate). They really need to be more selective in the marketing campaign.

 

I have just downloaded and installed the latest build (as guest under Linuxmint and VMware player) . Window Update is not even there.

I'm running mine as a primary on an SSD and the update is there.. Did you perform an update or clean install??? It could also be due to the method you're using to run build 10074.

 

I did a clean install 3 hrs ago

I update 10064 to 10071 by mounting the iso while booted to 10061 then running setup.exe from it. Took about 1 and 1/2 hours to complete.

Everything working so far. Even Spartan/Edge sort of works.

 

It could be restricted in other ways (e.g. it could be limited to people who have provided 10 pieces of feedback).

If MS did this, it would generate a "good press" for them.

Maybe there is something different about b10074.

I'm using my W10 b10041 VM (on a Linux Mint 17.1 Host).
I haven't experienced the issue you've mentioned.
Windows Update has always been present.

The Windows Update controls/options have been moved to the "Settings" window.
