Microsoft's "Windows Insider" fast track is living up to its name, with build 10162 released yesterday, making it three builds in four days since 10158 appeared on 29 June.
One difference this time round is that you can download the ISO image in one of 22 languages.
The download page is headed "April update" at the time of writing, but expand the downloads and you find build 10162.
The ISO image enables testing of clean installs, and suggests that this may qualify as a "slow" preview; the more stable builds which are made available to all testers.
This is also implied by a tweet from General Manager Gabe Aul, who said this morning that the 10162 ISOs are "ahead of Slow ring release". Windows 10162 ISOs are set to be a "slow ring" build.
So far, there is no further official comment on what is new, though I noticed that the wallpaper selection bug we reported last time round has been fixed.
You can expect few or no substantial changes before release, other than continued efforts to fix bugs.

Microsoft is also trying to build excitement as the end of the month release date approaches.

More coffee...
Isn’t this about the point in time when they would be putting out an RTM? It’s less than 30 days before their announced go-live.
It ain't nohow baked yet.
They keep sticking the toothpick into the middle and it keeps coming out with raw dough. Better, but not done yet.
I don't see how it'll really be finished even at the end of the month. Expect fixes, oops "updates" to roll out almost immediately afterward.
Is it time-limited, that is, does it expire? Thanks.
Supposedly there will be updates going forward, so it won't necessarily stop working, but it will have to update itself to keep going.
At least that's my understanding. Today. :-)
Install Oracle’s Virtualbox so you can install Windows 10 as a separate Windows just like any other program you have. Download the ISO, save it to a folder. I have one that I also put my VirtualBox operating files into on my Desktop.
Once installed you click on New then go thru the wizard and browse to the location of the ISO then click on Start.
You will have a copy installed in about 20 minutes.
You can go thru the VirtualBox settings to allow copying files back and forth from your other Windows.
VirtualBox 4.3.28 for Windows hosts x86/amd64
Also install: VirtualBox 4.3.28 Oracle VM VirtualBox Extension Pack All supported platforms

The Product key: 8N67H-M3CY9-QT7C4-2TR7M-TXYCV did not work.
I got it at the link above but the message is that it won;t work with this edition. You can click Next and still use Windows 10.
Code freeze should have happened several months ago. Only bugs that should even be looked at at this point are killer ones.
I was able to type in the same product key after going to Settings> Update & Security then Activation
