I have a PC running Windows 10 Insider Preview (the current or last build) I would like to give it to my sister and reset to the regular Windows 10, non preview version so I have a couple of questions:
When resetting will it reset to the same Insider Preview build it is currently on or will it reset to regular Windows 10? And is there any chance Windows will be deactivated after resetting it?
If I wanted to download the current ISO and reformat the PC with it will it deactivate or will it remain activated?
Thanks for your help.
To the second question. If your W10 was activated on that computer (actually it's MB), you can reinstall or repair W10 as many times as you want and it will be automatically activated on MS server. No need to enter license or anything, in case it asks you while doing clean install, just skip entering it.
Answer to your first question :
Reset option will reset the SAME preview build to the original state the preview build was installed.
*** adding :
Your plan, " giving it to my sister ", calls for installing regular Windows 10. Reset won't do.
Of course, it might be easier to just reset pc and leave on Insider version as redstone is due out shortly by end of July, and it will be necessary to upgrade/reinstall again.Answer to your first question :

Also, OP does not make it clear if he reverts to official release, if he upgraded from a valid 7/8 licence (or holds a valid 10 licence) - if so, leaving the Insider program may cause it to become deactivated.

It's the OP who wants to know.

I was just having a conversation that I thought you might be interested as well.
Biting my head off is out of order - I will not bother you again.
