May I state my differing opinion?
As I mentioned earlier, I have two machines, a real physical one and a Hyper-V vm on it, which were both first clean installed with 9879 using a local account. No other accounts have ever been created on those two machines, although of course I needed an MS account to start with, to download the ESD and create 9879 ISO on another machine, but since that both machines have only had a local account, both have always been set to fast ring after an upgrade, and both have been automatically upgraded through Windows Update with every build up to 10130. Have not yet tested the 10158 upgrade.
You don't have to be an Insider to be on the fast ring, you don't have to be an insider to upgrade. That might change after July 29th but at the moment being an insider is not obligatory. Today you can even download ISO images from Microsoft (10130 at the moment) without ever giving an email, not to mention an MS account.
The above is not valid. See this post.
Anyway, for me it's no sleep today :). It's 5:25 AM here and I just finished the first Sysprep tests, customizing the image in Audit Mode. The build 9860 was the last one where Sysprep worked perfectly, since that it's been this answer file component or that feature not working, forcing me to use absurd and comical workarounds.
But now everything Sysprep / Audit Mode related seems to work perfectly! Have to start editing my tutorials which at the moment include more warnings and workarounds than factual info :).
A happy camper here!
