There will be no official release-to-manufacturing version of Windows 10 as the company is moving to Windows as a Service, meaning the operating system will never be finished.

Windows 10 RTM Out of Box Experience Setup Guide (Build 10240)
If you've been waiting for Windows 10 RTM and you're an Insider running Build 10240, you're already using the final version of Windows 10. According to a new report, there won't be an official "RTM," "final," or "gold" version for Windows 10, as Microsoft is already giving manufacturers the latest preview build and that will be the version that ships to PCs on July 29.
While previous versions of the operating system always featured a gold release, a version that the company signed off on as complete, everything changes with Windows 10. Now that Microsoft is moving to a Windows-as-a-Service model, nothing is ever truly complete, it's still a work in progress.
This means that Windows Insiders are already using the best version available, but of course, starting July 29, more updates will be rolled out in the form of hotfixes to patch, improve, and stabilize the operating system for a more comprehensive experience.
