As of today, the Windows team has kicked the update process into full throttle. According to Windows whisperer, Gabe Aul, due to the upcoming US holiday, the Windows team is pushing out another build before the weekend.
Today’s Windows Insider build is number 10162. For anyone who has been keeping track, the numbering scheme tends to indicate jumps in performance and stability between builds. Over the last two days, the number leaps have been incremental. On Monday, Windows Insiders were treated to build 10158, and then on Tuesday the new build of 10159 was released. Aside from some undescribed bug fixes and a new login screen, the experience for many Insiders remained the same.
Windows 10: Preparing to Upgrade One Billion DevicesIf you reserved your copy of Windows 10, we will notify you once our compatibility work confirms you will have a great experience, and Windows 10 has been downloaded on your system.
UPDATED JULY 2, 2015 1:19 PM - With around four weeks to go before Windows 10 becomes available, I thought it would be helpful to provide some context on how we will roll-out Windows 10 to the world. We’ve been really pleased with the strong response to Windows 10 since we kicked off reservations in early June, with millions of reservations. We want to make sure all of you have a great upgrade experience, so we’ll roll-out Windows 10 in phases to help manage the demand. More details on what to expect are provided below.
We’ve shared before how Windows 10 will be familiar and more secure, with a natural experience that makes it easy for people to be more productive and have more fun. We can’t wait to deliver innovations like Cortana, Windows Hello, Microsoft Edge, Continuum, and so much more to your PC or tablet on July 29.* For the first time, we will deliver Windows as a service, with the commitment to offer ongoing innovations and security updates to you. In this world, Windows 10 is continuously improved and keeps getting better and better – for our consumer and business customers. We’re incredibly proud of the progress we’ve made and believe we are nearly ready to ship Windows 10 broadly to the world.
http://www.winbeta.org/news/windows-10-rtm-candidate-build-10176-has-been-compiled-sign-imminentIf you are unaware how the sign off process works, Microsoft will compile a number of builds they consider 'worthy' of RTM, these are called RTM candidates. These builds will be tested, and if the builds are found to have no bugs or issues, will be then voted on by employees. The build which is voted for the most is then selected as the RTM build, and recompiled into the winmain branch. The build number then usually jumps to a number which is divisible by 16 and 100, like 10400.
WinBeta is able to confirm that build 10176 from the th1 branch is indeed an RTM candidate. For those interested, the build in question is 10.0.10176.16384.th1.150705-0552. Microsoft appears to have jumped about 10 builds from 10166 to 10176 for its first RTM candidate. It's going to be an interesting week regarding Windows 10, so stay tuned at WinBeta for more news.

This build also allows Insiders in the Seattle area to try out the new Microsoft Wi-Fi app, which appeared in a build previously. You can download this new build via Windows Update right now.
Ref:For now, it looks like insiders are stuck on PC build 10166 until a finalized Windows 10 experience is available to all on July 29th.
