Not a problem. I just wanted to set the record straight for
others reading this.

So, I do not need to UnInstall the 21.49 Beta and reinstall the RTM? Is
this correct?

I don't think that you need to uninstall. 2149 was the public evaluation
version and while I'm not in the group it's my understanding their
information was they could install over it. If that is the case I don't
think you need to uninstall.

However, if you are looking for an absolute ironclad guarantee, I can't give
you that, I have no idea what the impact of this will be if any. If the
only issue is a cosmetic one as shown in winver, you're fine. If there are
deeper issues that stem from this there's no way for us to know until the
end of 180 days.

That said, I'm a long time beta tester and no matter what Microsoft says or
approves, I never install a released version over any beta version.

I've read a few messages about this problem. Maybe someone would care
to advance their date/time properties +180 days, boot and see what
happens then post back. If you can 😉
