To confirm go to Settings > Update & Security -> Activation. If you’ve previously activated a genuine copy of Windows 10 on your device, you will be able to activate Windows 10 Insider Preview builds of the same edition without the need to enter a product key.

In this new build, Microsoft added feature to support default color for Start, Acton Center, Taskbar and Title bars. Now you will be able to change the colors to reflect your preferences. As it is new, there might be some issues. By default, the feature is OFF, but you can turn it on by toggling Settings > Personalization -> Colors to ON.
