Microsoft gives its builds a name it did the same for Windows 7 and it does so for Windows 10 but the name вЂRedstoneвЂ™ also denotes something else feature roll out. ItвЂ™s clear that Microsoft is no longer working on Windows 7 or 8 so any builds, regardless of their name, will be for Windows 10.

A Windows 10 Redstone build is just that an insider build that hasnвЂ™t been pushed to the release channel.

Users of PCs on the Windows 10 Anniverary Update that were previously opted in to get builds but see a 'Fix me' button on the Insider Program settings page will be proactively placed in the Release Preview Ring, today's post notes.
