MS cannot release a patch for the old KMS v6 of this build. So, if future updates will work with this build, it could be considered as an ultimate 64-bit Windows 10 Enterprise with KMS v6 edition (easy to activate, the target of warez) and many releases of this build with different languages will grow on the web. This is a bad thing for MS to not to react about it. I doubt that they won't block updates for this build, or they will do something to prevent users from using this build on the long term, because it's a real Free Windows 10 Enterprise for life. Or maybe it's a target build, wildly released by MS to expect all hackers to use this build and trap them all... Aahhh... Conspiracy
I doubt MS cares yet, as currently, all users using W.10 are activated regardless. Once October 1 hits, ALL current Insider builds will be deactivated and stop receiving updates. Since 10176 won't get build updates (and even if it did, they would have KMS v7), then MS will just quietly stop updating it.
No, but all current Insider Builds are timebombed for October 1. Obviously by then, MS will have new Insider builds with new timebombs, but when current builds expire, MS likely won't provide updates to them. 10176 will probably stop receiving updates along with the other builds on Oct 1, as MS will focus on their new ones.
ah, ok....I agree, they won't as they have said there will always be a new build before the old expires.
Ok for Insider Preview, but 10176 is not an Insider Preview, it was a RTM candidate. When you activate this build, it seems that it will be for life, without timebomb. Please correct me if I'm wrong. EDIT 1: By "for life", I mean infinitely renewable 180 days and that actually what KMS activation tools do. EDIT 2: In other words, this build is the only one that is activable with "KMS v6 tools" and that is not timebombed, exactly like a Windows 8.1 system.
Indeed, but being a pre-release leaked build, MS won't allow it to upgrade to new builds (like 10147) and they'll probably stop updating it after Oct 1.
Maybe, but who cares it's junk? Anything you can drag in will get you a real windows 10, go that route.
while not legal, some people might wanna duel-boot 7/8 and 10. not me tho, i plan to duel-boot 10 final and insider
In fact, it's a frankenstein game for me. I want to know if it's possible to slipstream future updates to this build and keep the "KMS v6" working. But: You say that MS plans to keep Windows 10 systems up-to-date only by applying full upgrades each time that Windows 10 evolves ? Every time that a newer version of Windows 10 will be available, users will have to download a complete ESD (or something like that) to upgrade their Windows 10 systems ? It's not bandwidth friendly. I hoped that MS would release minimal "update pack" to upgrade our Windows 10 systems, step by step... But I expected too much from this new "Windows Update". It is a step backwards for me
From my understanding only when Insider program users had new builds would they even be offered. Also, don't sh*t on my monthly full build dream.
