What exactly is Windows Insider 'skip ahead?'

Insiders now have the option to "skip ahead" to the next Windows 10 OS update and begin receiving Redstone 4 Insider builds early. But what exactly does that mean?

Last week, Microsoft announced a change in the Windows 10 Insider Program that lets Insiders in the Fast ring skip ahead to the next Windows 10 release preview. There are a few reasons why this change is taking place, and depending on the kind of Insider you are, you're going to want to know about it. Here's everything you need to know about Windows 10 skip ahead.

In short, skip ahead is a new option for Insiders in the Fast ring that allows users to jump ahead, past the current Fall Creators Update preview builds, and onto the development branch where the update coming after the Fall Creators Update is being developed. It puts Insiders on the Redstone 4 channel of development builds, meaning Insiders who choose to skip ahead won't be given the chance to test the Fall Creators Update RTM.
