From Cmd (admin): DISM /Get-Currentedition > 10.0.10240.384
From Cmd (admin): Slmgr/xpr > "Windows (R), Professional Edition, The Machine is Permanently
Activated"
From Update & Security Window “Activation > Edition Windows 10 Pro”
From Updates > Advanced Options > "You are all set to received Insider Builds"
From Cmd (admin) Msinfo32.exe > "Hdwe. Abstraction Layer Version = 10.0.10240.16392
Question: Why the different edition numbers between DISM /Get-Currentedition > 10.0.10240.384 and Msinfo32.exe > "Hdwe. Abstraction Layer Version = 10.0.10240.16392?
Question: How long will the "Insider Program" run? Will/can my edition of Win 10 pro be converted to a fully licensed OS at some future point without upgrading my Win 8.1 pro?
Remark: If the above answer is no, then I plan on Updating my Win 8.1 Pro to Win 10 pro. I don't want to do this for awhile as I don't feel that Win 10 build 10.0.10240 is fully ready for prime time and I would like to stay in the "Insider Program". I would like to keep all 3 OS's, however as I understand you have to go the "Upgrade" route to be legit thus loosing my Win 8.1 pro in the process. I do not wish to upgrade my Win 7 as long as I can as Win 7 is it is my work horse and everything works.
Thanks in advance for comments or suggestions.
