Eventually these builds will expire, however there will always be a new build with a new key before that happens. The Insider builds are pre-release software and are activated with a pre-release software key. After Windows 10 launches, the Insider program will continue, and there will be fast or slow rings for testers. The first scenario is that you are a Windows Insider, and you want to stay in the program. There are now three scenarios (and once again this is ONLY for people running Windows 10 as an Insider) and each is handled slightly differently. Apparently too good to be true often is, and the company has now completely changed the terms again.

One common question though was what about the millions of people who joined the Windows Insider program and are running Windows 10 as pre-release software already? As of Friday, Microsoft’s Gabe Aul stated that they would also get an activated Windows 10 install as long as they were using the Microsoft Account that they joined the Insider’s program with. If you are running Windows 7 or 8.1, you are eligible. This free offer extends for one year from the launch of Windows 10 which will be July 29 th. Now, to clarify, all Windows 7 and 8.1 customers are eligible for a free upgrade to Windows 10.

Today, for the third time, the post has been updated to try and clarify again, and close the giant loophole.

The new verbiage was subtly different but the end result was even more confusion. Later, they updated their original post to change some of the wording, since it basically made it sound like anyone could use the Insider program to score themselves an activated license for Windows 10. Just a couple of days ago, Microsoft put out a blog post outlining how Windows Insiders would be updated to the release version of Windows 10.
