Windows 10 will be upgraded like any other Windows update. It can also be installed via media creation tool https://news.thewindowsclub.com/windows-10-iso-download-79481/ . If you are not tech savvy, better to upgrade via Windows update.

So it’s like – become a guinea pig for Microsoft and test prerelease software on your computer and get to use it free. 😛

As an insider, if you remain an insider, yes your build which is the RTM build (the same as everyone else’s build on 7.29 ) will remain a preview build whether or not your system qualifies for the upgrade but it will be essentially be a free version of Windows 10, just as long as you remain an insider. If you pull your own plug on being an insider, once your preview build key expires you’ll have to purchase a license if your system does not qualify for an upgrade.
As an insider you will get all updates first whether they are good or bad and will probably have to do more resets and refreshes due to bad updates , but once the updates are stable your preview build is updated and upgraded just as everyone else’s systems are. So essentially yes, Windows insider DO get a free copy of Windows 10, it comes with it’s own set of headaches but it is still free.

So essentially on can be an insider, not qualify for the upgrade but as long as they stay an insider they can keep using and testing Windows 10 and their systems will be upgraded as needed with everyone else on all future builds ….. so long as Microsoft doesn’t pull the plug on the insider program they will have a free version of Windows 10.
Can someone explain this to Dave’s Computer Tips? because there are a few over there that really just don’t get it.

In reply to bzyryanov. AFAIK, no you won't. The 10130 preview build has to be your main OS.

“Windows Insider program is to be installed on Genuine Windows device only.”

I’m thinking the answer to that would be, no.

I’m guessing the answer to that would be, no.

ok, just to be clear: so if i install Win10 Insider on my MacBook via virtual machine, I won’t get a license when the final version comes out? Or will I?
