With just over three weeks until the launch of Windows 10, preview builds are still popping out left, rights, and center -- some more official than others. Microsoft is beavering away on the final build which will start to roll out on 29 July, and it seems that the RTM version could be signed off as early as this week.
Build tracking site BuildFeed shows that Windows 10 Build 10176 from the th1 branch (a reference to threshold, Windows 10's codename) is now being tested as a release candidate. With a full build string of 10.0.10176.16384.th1.150705-0552, the appearance of this version ties in neatly with a rumor that RTM might be reached this week -- perhaps as early as Thursday.

Hey, thanks for the updare. If I may ask, is Windows 10 going to be free to those who reserved it, or do we have to pay after a year?

My understanding is it's a free upgrade and it isn't a renewal service, so you don't have to pay again. But if you don't get it within the first year, then you'd have to pay for it.
