==== Prohibited builds ====
Due to the large amount of of builds coming from certain sources, the following builds that originate from the following aren't sufficient for BetaWiki's scope:
* Variants of a retail build sourced from an [[w:original equipment manufacturer|original equipment manufacturer]] (OEM). The only exceptions are those featuring significant changes, such as being available in a different architecture than what was available in retail (usually non-IBM PC compatibles).
* Updated revisions of RTM builds obtained through the [[Windows Update]] service. The only exceptions are update builds with major interface, kernel/build number, and/or application changes.
* Builds where their build number is sourced from [[w:GitHub|GitHub]] repositories or issue logs (including those sourced from the [[Windows Terminal]] repository)
* Builds where their build number comes from a <code>compliance.ini</code>, <code>cversion.ini</code>, or <code>AppxManifest.xml</code> file
* Builds where their build number or buildtag comes from stock registry hives in other builds
* Cumulative update builds of beta builds, particularly from [[Windows 10]] and above
