I am giving this a try doing an upgrade of an existing compact OS system. Will let you know what happens.
Thanks, Kari, I knew about the ring structure but I was just wondering about the new build method of updating. Just hope we don't get a new rush of "my computer got trashed" type posts here every time a new 'SR' comes out!
Cheers, and, yes, as usual, this build went on with absolutely no (known!) problems.
Success!!!
I upgraded and it still kept the install as compact OS. Also the upgrade was super quick not even 15 minutes like the clean install.
Did this latest version have an install.esd?
UPDATE: Went back to search again and noticed that I now have a ~Bt and a ~Ws folder. Found the install.esd file.
For those rather doing a full clean install than an in-place upgrade, this works giving an activated Windows 10 Build 10525:
- On an Insider Build 10240 (RTM) PC, I let the Windows Update download the new build
- When download was finished I grabbed the ESD file and created an ISO image (tutorial)
- I created a bootable flash drive from the ISO (tutorial)
- I booted the PC with this flash drive
- Using the installation program's drive tools removed all partitions from the HDD
- Created new partitions according to my usual partitioning plan
- Installed Build 10525 using my Microsoft / Windows Insider account, skipping the product key
- After the installation Windows was automatically activated

My install went fine. But I'm not really seeing any difference at this point. Edge and the mail app are just as limited as before. Interesting to see what others find.
