For the past 15 years of my life, I’ve been playing with betas of DOS-based and "classic" NT-based Windows. A week ago I suddenly decided to play with “modern” versions of Windows, because I know nothing about them. I believe debombing a Windows 10 beta build is a good way to start.
 
I picked the first official pre-release build of Windows 10 (build 9841) –- what a mistake! I thought it might be the easiest build to debomb, and I ignored the fact that nobody even talked about debombing it. I then read that only fbl_partner_eeap builds may be debombed, because they contain "non-functional timebombs and as a result can be installed on the current date". Well, I’d like to challenge the fact that only fbl_partner_eeap builds may be debombed, so I chose to continue with 9841 (a fbl_release flightsigned build).
 
Without a doubt, I overestimated my abilities and realized debombing a flightsigned build is like going through 9 circles of Hell. Well, you see, I am talking about it so obviously I succeeded in the end. It was a long and tough battle, took me almost a week to fully defeat flightsigning.
