Not really too late. I've seen them come out at 6:30-7:00 in the evening. I don't think I've ever seen her throw out a hint and not follow up the same day.

Sorry, just one last question about the Windows Insider watermark on the desktop....Is that seen only seen on the desktop itself? in other words, once you open a web browser like Edge or Chrome is it no longer visible?

Also, is it removable? (Just asking for a friend who was considering getting on the program)...Thanks...

Yes and No...

Edit: There are convoluted ways to get rid of it, but it's not for the faint of heart!

Hi,

Click Start, type regedit in the Start Search box, and then press ENTER. ...
Navigate to the following registry key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\CONTROL PANEL\DESKTOP.
Right-click on PaintDesktopVersion and click Modify.
Type in 0, click OK.
Exit the Registry Editor.

Ah...thanks guys...So i see there are ways to remove it...but if it only appears on the desktop itself (and not once you open a browser or some program...then he might not care that much...

Good thing he doesn't mind as it doesn't seem to work in the latest IP............
