Or keep that copy of 10 in the preview program receiving new versions.

They advise that it is a test environment and advise not to be used as main PC some builds have not been stable enough others are. 10130 is usable for 90% of what I do just can not watch movies on my tv without it skipping to the end 10 mins in then I just boot to windows 8.1 which I kept

Your options are test windows for the duration or clean install 8 and upgrade that way. Or do both

You will not be able to do an in place upgrade from either of them operating systems and the upgrade is not free for them anyway

Computers do not need a licence what they are saying there makes no sense

I am simply going to continue as an Insider I doubt the rollouts will be that often and past RTM I will switch to slow ring .

There found them for you
Nothing I have said in this thread is wrong
Nowhere in the EULA is there a clause that says you have to have a licensed computer all we have is a blog post
A Operating system license is for the software not the computer a computer does not need a license some software does
A Clean direct install of the insider preview will continue to work after RTM on a basis of the user continuing to test the operating systems new builds
All correct I know my subject not sure about some of the rest of ya
