Microsoft is hard at work to get Windows 10 ready for the big launch on July 29, and the company has recently released build 10166 for insiders enrolled in the fast ring, but there's something that's even more exciting if you know where to look.

Windows 10 build 10176, which is generally referred to as the first RTM candidate, is now available for download thanks to a leaked ISO, so in case you want to see what the final version of the operating system might be all about, this is the version you need to get.

Information on this particular build is not yet available, and it's worth mentioning that only the Chinese version has leaked for now, but chances are that the English build will follow very soon.

First RTM candidate

As usual, we won't provide you with a download link for obvious reasons, and keep in mind that Microsoft does not recommend anyone to get it because, in case of issues and bugs, the company cannot help you with any kind of assistance.

Build 10176 could be the very first RTM candidate, and if this is indeed true, expect it to be pretty stable and reliable, but still, you aren't recommended to install it unless you know what you're doing.

Windows 10 is projected to launch later this month, and it's believed that RTM is very likely to be reached next week, after a short delay caused by additional work needed to be done on a number of features.

RTM was originally planned for this week, but sources close to the company's plans have indicated that Redmond is now looking at mid next week for RTM, so expect more news on this very soon, especially because work on Windows 10 advances as a very fast pace these days.

Thank you, @trankimlonghai, for the tip!
