AFAIK 10240 is the candidate for RTM. Wait and see :)

This is mandatory (as it was mandatory for Windows 8.1 with its own GUID)
and I expect this to work in RTM (it has been working like this very long
time, even when Windows 10 was identifying itself as 6.4 and not 10). See
this Microsoft blog post for details:

I was already checking this option box.
With this new installer (unfortunately still named r2 which is confusing ;)
), the service was running after installation and I can manually stop and
restart it. But after reboot it does not start and typing 'sc start npf'
now gives an error stating that the specified file cannot be found.
