Windows 10 Build 10240 for PC is now available

remember MS has changed to windows as a service model if it wasn't official RTM why is it permanently activating where was the last test build been able to do that

If it's RTM why do I have the same Product Code as several other forum members? IMHO, that shouldn't be if it is RTM.

Could you try something, I am curious about something

Could you type this in administrative command prompt and see if the dialog that popsup displays an expiration date? This will answer if it is an RTM version or something else.

Code:

slmgr /dlv

Mine shows no expiration date and I'm still in the Insiders program. I don't think that will tell you anything. Build 10240 has no watermark and no expiration date. No Pre-Release connotation either. But its still using common product codes. I have the same Product code as others here and I've seen my code posted on the internet. I'll be waiting until the 29th to see if I get a new key that is unique to me.

It might be RTM, but its not the Official RTM until Microsoft says it is. Not to me anyway. I don't see the harm in waiting. What did opting out change for you? What advantage is there to doing it now versus latter?

MS have changed to a windows as a service model so not publically saying it as that's old model

Say what? I have no idea what that means?

So now that you've opted out, how do you do a clean install and what product code do you enter?

yes I have done clean install on RTM after upgrading and it still permanently activated long as you upgrade first you can clean install use product key in first post here

So everybody is going to use the same Windows 10 product code after the 29th?
