Floppy disks. I know, it's an old thing to talk about, but if you think about it, it's also a way to get data from point A to point B securely. Think about it this way: You have a message split across 3 drives, using a method of writing a bit to 1, then to 2, and so on. This means to get the data, you need both of the disks, meaning if you delivered them two different ways, at two different times, there's a 1/8 probability that someone will get all the data and the message inside. So try it, you might get something out of it! You might even create a new encrypted disk type... *wink* *wink*

Actually, you aren't the first to the builds. Developers will thoroughly check the system, and while there might be some itty-bitty bugs here and there, nothing harmful is left inside when it gets to insiders. So yeah, it has been tested, deal with it. Like what was said in this post, you're only the guinea pigs giving them data because you're using a free, "Test 3" version of Windows. It's a better choice than getting a supposedly legit "lisenes" for Windows. And I copied and pasted that, FYI. So Microsoft gets data, you get Windows, everybody's happy. It's a win/win/Windows. ? But I do prefer Ubuntu over Windows, so... eh. Sadly, I thought I could get Ubuntu on my Surface go: I cannot. God bless America, Microsoft! Why do you have to make this so hard?!

Guess what? The internet can be wrong. Remember how Abraham Lincoln said the internet never lies? Oh wait, he wasn't alive when the internet was created. Don't believe everything you see online. Especially not from Google. They're private, right? Wrong. Remember: They find where you live based on your IP address. And that info is stored on their servers. Boom.

If you think that it is a trial, think again. During the installation process, Windows asks you which copy you want to download, but will never ask for a license. I went through the installation process on a VM, and there is no text box for a license code. None. So twiddle your thumbs while you install a perfectly legal version of that Windows 10 Pro you always wanted, for free. Oh, and I forgot to mention: In the OS menu, you can select a non-Insider build (No N) or an Insider Build (With an N). Remember that when you start typing a mean comment about "He has to use a regular build! He has to use a regular build!". An non-activated version of Windows is not a regular version/build of Windows. That's why they ask for a product key before the installation starts. You get a different OS depending on whether or not you enter a key. A different build. You can try calling me out on this one, but the evidence points to the fact that the Insider Installer is a legal, safe, and easy way to get any copy of Windows 10 for free. A community build that can be run on a workbench computer without the hassle of monthly fees or licenses that are tied to hardware rather than software. Windows 10's version of Windows Buisness Licensing. Oh wait, they have that too. Sadly, it requires monthly fees. Insider Installers don't. Which would you choose? Getting a legal version, or running the risk of going to prison? That should end it. The very first line of your signature is: DISCLAIMER: ANYTHING I SAY COULD BE WRONG. DO YOUR OWN RESEARCH! So I did my research. I found out a ton of info. Most notably, Microsoft includes stuff in the production line, and Insiders don't even know about it. And having your OS shine with untouched features is worse than having partly tested, functioning features that run well on the OS. So, that statement would be incorrect.

BTK(Back To the Keyboard) And, on top of this, Microsoft collects data on whether or not you have a licensed OS. So, by using an unlicensed one, you are blatantly ignoring Microsoft. Hell yeah, they know. Great. You know what? If you really want to have the guilt of a "legit" license, press Windows + R and type the following: SLMGR -REARM Then hit enter. Yay! Now you have a "legit" license activated! Except you don't. All this does is removes the watermark and tells windows that it's activated. This is what the "legit" licenses do. You pay money to trick the system into thinking it's licensed. Happy now?

This is how far I've gotten:

Actually, I've found it to be more reliable. (Microsoft puts stuff in the production line that only a select few of the developers know about (unless you happen to be a person who digs through the code like me)) Well, it is possible to downgrade from an insider build without getting a notice, so that would work.

Windows 10 previews are tested by the developers on virtual machines to make sure a version of Windows doesn't destroy the computer. Then they go to the insiders to talk about new features. I myself use Windows Insider Previews as my go-to Windows OSes because they are so easy to use and don't require a license. Enterprise Previews address that by making sure it's stable before it becomes a ring, and they're designed for that reason. It isn't really a catch, more of a helping hand. Any data sent helps improve the OS and make it more stable. That can help a lot on benchmark computers. What can I say? Windows Insider Previews are my go-to OSes, and they're free! You can choose how stable you want them, and you can test upcoming features before they're released to the general public! I don't know what you meant by that, but I'm happy to reply to any more comments. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Yes, that is because they want you to test different hardware and see how it performs.

Windows 10 Insider preview is official and doesn't require a license.

The thing that most people don't know is this: Microsoft is basically giving away free copies of Windows 10, and, there's no catch. All you have to do is become a Windows insider. Now, I know what you're thinking: Don't you have to pay money for that? The answer is simply: No. You don't. Just go to insider.windows.com, scroll down, and click "BECOME AN INSIDER TODAY >". Then you're done. Turns out I can't upload the .iso file because it's over 20MB.
