Microsoft could offer Build 10240 as an ISO, but as Windows Insider chief Gabriel Aul himself says, "we really need people to be using the upgrade path". That’s because Build 10240’s primary raison d'etre - as confirmed to me by a Microsoft insider - is to test the upgrade process in advance of the roll out in two weeks’ time. From now on, any new builds, and updates, will only be available through Windows Update.

In fact, Microsoft has removed all ISOs and keys, preventing anyone from cleanly installing the new OS from scratch. It’s not making it available in ISO format, and the build is also only available to Insiders who are already running a preview version (10074 or newer). For the first time since the Insider program began, Microsoft is releasing the new build to both the Fast and Slow rings simultaneously.
