    Local ACC or insider?

    Make sure you had build 10240 activated on the machine first (not using KMS), then I would imagine 10525 should recognise the hardware id and be activated as well. Other than that, I don't think there's any way to have permanent activation.

    MSA Insider. Although now that activation is good, I will likely swap back to local. HWID tied to MSA did the trick.

    For the record, I got build 10525 offered on a test machine that had an unactivated 10240 installed on (and never had any Windows activated before). I did have insider builds enabled and connected MS account. I don't expect 10525 to be activated after the upgrade.

    That doesn't work with 10130. I'm seriously getting tired of this, if I'm an insider I should be able to use Insider builds. Makes sense, don't you think ?

    Hardware ID is not tied to MSA. MSA is required to be able to opt in to insider builds, that's all.

    I just did this recently, although it's possible it's been disabled since. Make sure you are trying to activate build 10130 with key ending -YKHCF.

    My ThinkPad X301 upgraded to 10525 from 10240, I found that the Mail, Calendar and the Map cannot be opened, they were forced to close!

    Also new in this build: Settings has an accent-color tile (not purple anymore) and transparent background in the taskbar.

    If you can't sign in yourself, then don't give advice on memory alone. The page has significantly changed since Windows 10 was released. I have been in the insider program for a long time and I can navigate my way around the page, it's not a matter of trying harder. I conclude that you have outdated information and are unable to give correct advice in this instance.

    As for the effect of signing in, that will not in and of itself suddenly start pushing insider builds to your computers. You still have to opt in via the windows 10 windows update advanced settings. The flip side is that if you don't want to get insider builds, you can always opt out of them via windows update settings. Signing into that page is harmless.

    Did not used to be this way, you had to accept alot of terms and conditions to join and sign in on that page, used to, after you were signed in, you were signed up, does it still say at very bottom of page Leave the program, you have to be signed in to see that, it's how you opt out of program or used too.
