That would be great if it really allows new registrations. I hope they do. I will continue receiving new builds as am already using Windows 10 latest build. But I do think they’ll take some time before allowing new registrations as Insiders.
The whole thing looks complicated after it announced “end of support” even before release of Windows 10. Sounds like Microsoft has some plans that it does not want to reveal.

Microsoft said:” We don’t have any plans to stop allowing new Insider registration, and will continue the program after 7/29 with new builds…”

In reply to rish. Unfortunately seems not- I signed up to be an insider ages ago but didn't actually register any PCs, now they aren't accepting anymore PCs to be registered (only phones). Unless maybe he can download that ISO marked for his other PC...

My take on Insider Program, which is closed to new accounts. Since I sign up back in Oct. 2014 I can keep using the Insider updates as long I reply back to MS with any bugs or troubles with new updates. But if I quit Insider program then I got to prove I have legit Product Key for Windows 7 or Windows 8.1. Then I became a registered user and no longer will I need to reply to MS. Right now I plan to stay with the program and use some beta programs. Right now I using the RTM version of 10 which will be release in couple weeks.

In reply to jeronimojackson. Since your account is already registered, you could just download the latest ISO and install it on your tablet.

In reply to jeronimojackson. You can still get the Insider Preview, since you probably signed up for the Insider Program using your Microsoft account.

In reply to jeronimojackson. This might be temporary as Microsoft prepares for 29th July public release...so after that Insider registration for PCs might start again...have to wait & see.

In reply to jeronimojackson. I don't think Microsoft would take in any more insiders for PC as it will be released on 29th. I was wondering if your tablet can run mobile version. You can still be insider for mobile version of Windows 10 but not for PC version.

In reply to Arun Kumar. Yes. You are correct. My question is whether I will be able to register the tablet for the insider program, which is what the article addresses.

In reply to jeronimojackson. You can upgrade your Windows 8.1 tablet to Windows 10 once it is available to general public. It is free upgrade for one year from July 29 2015.

In reply to jeronimojackson. I think it's linked to your Microsoft account but I'm not 100% sure.
