Windows 10 Build 10240 for PC is now available

I did a clean install, used the key so it activated and then upgraded to 10240 and it was activated when done. I used an ISO for the upgrade process.

i thought gabe said all keys to older builds were dead, and that they wouldn't work any longer?

Looked and tried all the standard Apps and could not find anything that doesn't work. Only problem I have is that some names are in English and some in Serbian with atrocious translations. As they are all in alphabetical order in All Apps, it's difficult to find them fast. Ones I want, I stuck to Start menu, speaking of which, I cant make it wider and can have only 3 of medium size in a row.

if you consider the smallest start menu 25%, then i can expand mine to, 50, 75 and then 100%. so there are four expansion steps. you should be able to get it further than three icons wide .

The door is not closed yet, I guess!

It's odd... Some people are still being able to activate builds with embedded keys, others not... I could activate a clean install of build 10240 a few hours ago.

:)

Could this relate to history of Insider MSA?

notice after clean install it not on insider program

that is odd. through out this process, so many times different people can do different things. what works for some, just doesn't work for others. some easily upgrade others have multiple problems. i find this very distracting, and it makes you a little paranoid every time you go to upgrade or do something relevant on your system.

yes if activated with MSA it stored in there cloud server so can activate on clean install after upgrade is activated first
