[DISCUSSION] Windows 10 Build 10162

Na; AMD provides the driver to Windows 10 users, but states:

So, I guess if you for some reason need help from AMD with this driver and you're using Windows 10, you're on your own until the 29th

 

Sounds like I should just stay an insider until the 29th and then follow along very closely to what is happening. Yes, I have 40 genuine licenses to 7 (20 Ultimate licenses, 10 Professional, and 10 Home versions) most of which are unused as of yet. If I knew that I could upgrade to 10 from my activated 7 almost immediately after reserving my copy, then I would just do it today. However, it sounds like if I go back to 7, then I will be on 7 at least until the 29th, or maybe even days later? So to insure I stay on 10, then I need to stay an insider, right? Does that sound about right?

I wonder if I can install 7 today, activate my 7, do the necessary update to get the reservation notice, reserve my copy of 10, then upgrade that copy of genuinely activated 7 to the Insider Preview 10162, and then when RTM comes along upgrade to that and keep my activation from my Windows 7? Or does the Insider Preview require it to be wiped from the drive and go back to a qualifying OS 7 or 8.1 just in order to upgrade to 10 RTM?

It seems I must obtain more patience and wait until the 29th to do anything further, lol.

To make it more confusing..my plan is to wait for somebody to upload the update on the 29th and just install that on my pcs. I have the icon but all I really care about is having the code, I see no reason for anything else. I am still an insider but only on vm guests and that is just so I may get the update a little quicker. After that I will opt out too.

 

I hope it does not interfere with your RTM

 

I would think the Insider program, for 10 at least will run until the 1 year free upgrade offer comes to an end. Or end right after Redstone is finalized?

 

no its gonna be on going indefinitely

 

If you don't have qualifying OS, stay a insider, but if you do have qualifying OS, I personally am not taking chance on MS letting you do both, that's just me

 

I have read nothing to make me think this but my concern is that insiders version of the final code will not be the same as the retail and oem versions because it is still under the control of a test program. That is why they are willing to let you keep it for free as long as you stay an insider and make you pay once you leave. I don't need any other processes running to slow me down.

 

I have reserved my win 10 copy on win 81. but I'm on 10162 now not sure if I need to opt out

hmm intresting this is International no beta

 

That's exactly where I was, but I opted out as MS is making this so confusing, I'm going with there simple plan, reserve upgrade, and leave insider program alone for now, I want nothing messing up RTM.

 

I'm insider on phone too so.. I really don't want to op tout..

 

I triple boot Win 7, Win 8.1, and Win 10 so yes I qualify for free copy but will keep all 3 when 29 July gets here and not use free update. My choice

 

Then don't

 

So with the release being 10208.16384.150707-1528.th1_CLIENTPRO_RET_x64fre_en-us.esd
That means we have hit RTM candidates, or true RTM?
