RTM is short for release to manufacturer, and it's ready two weeks prior to final release on July 29th. The build that has been submitted as final has version number 10240.

The RTM version is intended for manufacturers who install Windows on their devices like laptops and PCs. The RTM status is the last phase for the public release of the OS. Microsoft announced Windows 10 last year and has been releasing public test version that have been well received.

Obviously for us PC gamers DirectX 12 is going to be a hip and hot feature. Microsoft has promised that all users of Windows 7 and 8.0 can get a free upgrade to Windows 10, you will need to upgrade this year though as that is the one condition set by MS. Due to the free upgrade the adoption rate of Windows 10 will likely go through the roof.

A fun fact, Microsoft releasing the RTM precisely today is not a coincidence, today it has been exactly 20 years ago that Microsoft send Windows 95 RTM to manufacturers.

You don't have to wait.

Official ISOs won't be available for a while since they are testing the update process.

I can't say I'd download from unknown sources either; hence, I'll just use the ESDtoISO tool and make one.

Was actually trying to put this on a USB several times. Don't work for whatever reason. Seems the guy who made this converted the ESD to an ISO. Redownloaded multiple times from different sources (all from the same person) and it still does nothing. Have no disc to burn it to. Guess I'll try the mount and install method as a last resort. If it fails, oh well. I backed up my current OS completely. I'll just restore if it goes wrong.

He had to convert due to MIcrosoft not officially releasing this build yet. Windows Insider for PC is temporarily disable on their site. You'd have to install last build then update. Or attempt your luck at this ESD converted to ISO. Even if this doesn't work @Kardo Kristal, all of the others you've linked to did. And obviously if this doesn't work, no one should be blaming you for it. You know what they say, don't shoot the messenger.

@OokamiCreed Interesting.. Moderator of the website said in the comments:

...we downloaded the ESD from Microsoft's website and converted them using a Decrypter.

I'll download it tomorrow and test it out. Previous versions worked here.

you are a boss Kardo

Just wanted to report that mounting the ISO and running the setup file worked perfectly. Did not ask for a license and activated itself once connected to the internet. It was an OEM by the way. Worthy to note that the OS was not the preinstalled one, but a fresh install using an ISO that wasn't sent with OEM computers.

This is using the ISO in the link provided by @Kardo Kristal It does work. Just couldn't get it to install on a USB using Rufus.

As I said above, I mounted the ISO and ran the setup file. Virtual drive.

didn't pay attention ^^

one good thing with newly released Windows OS, is most AV/security vendors are not ready , so no overkill setup
