How to use

Title: the label on the About Windows dialog box (winver.exe), or on the desktop watermark. Build tag is preferred.
Imagecaption: image description
Status:
- Released: means officially made public, whether open to anyone or only to a limited number of testers. Put in parentheses the type of release. For example:
  - (Developer): e.g. Windows Neptune/5.5.5111.1,
  - (PDC YYYY), e.g. PDC 2003 for Windows Longhorn/6.0.4051.idx02.031001-1340, PDC 2005 for Windows Vista/6.0.5219.winmain idx02.050830-2010
  - (Beta #) or (RC#) [Release Candidate], include the number, e.g. (Beta 1) or (RC1)
  - (RTM) for Release to manufacturing
  - (SP#) [Service Pack], include the number, e.g. SP1
  - (Insider), for builds released under the Windows Insider program
- Leaked: means the opposite of Released; Windows Longhorn build 3683 is an example.
- Unavailable: neither released nor leaked.
Kernel: First two numbers on About Windows, e.g. 10.0 for Windows 10
Architecture:
- x86
- x64
- IA64
SKU:
- Workstation
- Home Edition
- Professional
- Business
- Personal
- Server: specify the specific Server variant
Compiled: Compile date, format DD MMMM YYYY, e.g. 23 May 2024. Usually found in build tag or the date system files were created.
BIOS date: usually the same as the compile date, except for builds compiled in evaluation mode (e.g. Windows Longhorn/6.0.4051.idx02.031001-1340), which do not require setting the BIOS date back. Put compile date using format above. If BIOS date not necessary, write N/A.
Timebomb: number of days from install before build can no longer be used (meaning user can no longer login in). If none, use "None".
Key: Product key. If none required, use "None".
BetaWiki and TCB:
- If available, use Available as caption for link.
- If none, use Not available.
