Maybe not the right area to post this, but saved the .esd and did a checkdisk and removed last build. This erased ~BT folder and windows.old. The ~ws folder remains, should be able to delete manually? 2 other files on on the C: $WINRE_BACKUP_PARTITIONH.MARKER 0 bytes and a file called "END" 0 bytes would be ok to delete also?

Although I didn't understand a word you said, Meebers, I'm pretty sure anything goes, but whatever we post will likely get lost in the shuffle. So, if you have a specific question, you'd probably be more apt to get help if you post a new thread in the Windows Insider Forum.

Remember Insider build 10240 ?
It did not have watermark either.
It was because the final release Win 10 RTM was also the same copy as build 10240.

Apparently, the upcoming Threshold 2 is also same copy as build 10586.

We, the Insiders, get it ( Threshold 2 ) first before the non-insiders who run the Win 10 RTM.

Now that you mention it I remember that. I cant remember if they re numbered 10240 before it made RTM or not I'll have to look but it all sounds plausible that 10586 or most of it would be the th2 /RTM .

Only thing different is * IIRC * aside from no water mark I think 10240 had a licence /EULA splash screen or something like that that the other test build updates didn't have ?

They didn't renumber 10240. We had it on our computers for awhile before July 29.

Right ......I remember when we had it but I don't remember looking at the RTM build # when I upgraded the other PC 's here and my other primary partition on this dual booter. RTM could just as well be labeled 10240 like U say . .

I'll take a look .

Update no build version in "about my computer "in RTM just the product number ,descroption and edition but RTM is probably 10240 or most of it . ☺

None really. It just might not expire like other Insider builds do. Normally, after a certain date you need to upgrade to a new build or activation times out. This one may not do that, that's all.

If it doesn't expire, do all Insiders with comps that didn't qualify for a free upgrade, effectively get a free one anyway??

Must be a catch. Maybe there is a secret expiry date:)

Just got back into this OS , I Googled it and I installed the insider hub in RTM on the other NTFS volume and it was all there just like you said !

Maybe I'll put it in here also no info in the feedback app .but insider hub app has info and news ...cool !

Update :
Dang I had it ( Insider hub ) in *this test build * 10586 and earlier all along just not pinned to the tile menu. It looks like they are updating the news and links in there as recently as today ☺
