Windows 10
During testing, we released several Release Candidate versions of Windows Vista SP1 on Microsoft Technet and the Microsoft Download center for broad customer testing. Thanks to everyone who tested or evaluated Vista SP1 earlier this year! Your feedback was instrumental in making the release successful.
Today I want to remind everyone who installed the Release Candidate that you must uninstall any RC builds (any build less than 6.0.6001.18000) before they expire on June 30. After this date, the kernel will stop with an END_OF_NT_EVALUATION_PERIOD error message an hour after the machine has booted. If you do wait until after June 30, just reboot your PC and start the uninstall process right away.
How do you know if you’re running a pre-release build?
If your desktop says “For Evaluation Purposes”, you are running time-limited beta/RC software and will need to uninstall. Another check is to hit the start button and type “WinVer” – if it lists an expiration date then you have a time-limited version of SP1.
