Latest Samsung Ativ S firmware updates

I am on FW 2424.15.3.2 and this morning I updated to OS 8.10.14219.341 (PfD and windows insider). Now an other update is ready to install, but don't know what it is. I don't dare to install it. It might be WP10, which I don't want, yet. It might also be GDR2, which is interesting. Just to let you know

Hey, just wanted to post update. Thanks to grozaman and bence instructions, I successfully updated to W10 Preview, and enjoyed playing with it few hours, but now I'm getting 8.1.1 back. 10 is unusable for everyday (now) and generally I don't like the way it is developing, hamburger,spartan, etc. But that's another story...
I got several updates today on my Ativ S (I'm on PfD and WI) it seems to be only a preparation for W10 but can't get it nor can I get GDR2 so I'm a bit confused.

The only phone i got and can be updated to W10TP, my Lumia 630, is not available 
Long story short, I gave it to my 16 years old cousin cuz he had enough from his Android device (I think it was Huawei, dunno) and android lag. When he visits me, he always tinkering around with my ATIV S and my Lumia 930. And then one day said to me could i help him with money cuz he wanted a WP so bad. And instead of money i suggest to give him my Lumia 630 to use it for a while and get use to WP and learn more about it and if then he still loves the OS, i will get him one as a gift (he choose which one). He accepted my suggestion and took the Lumia 630 (omg, you should see guys his face how much he was excited, lol). 3 days later he sells his Android device to some friend of his and 4 days after that he phones me to ask me how to get W10 on the device, hahaha.
I was like: WTF man? Learn first the damn device and OS. And it is your main phone now, so getting W10 there is not recommendable.
His answer: Well I learn a lot, i read the thread on WC where you and others are active, then i read other threads about WP and Lumia 630.
And I was like: Ok, when did you sleep last?
And he was like: Dunno, 2 days ago!?
LOL, he spend 2 days learning WP, now that's dedication,
So, I see that he ditched Android for WP for good, so I was thinking to get him MS Lumia 640 or 640XL. Which one you think I should get him? He likes to have the ATIV S cuz of its design, but I think any of the 640's will be better choice for him.
I know this is kinda off topic, but I see you all here as family

I use csc NEE as I don't have ATO either (I could choose AUT but not sure if that will get me latest firmware ie 2424.15. I currently have 2424.14.9) I spent most of yesterday reinstalling 8.0 back to 8.1 after I got the reboot issue with windows insider fast ring. I would be interested to know if changing to AUT will get me latest firmware sooner or not? Also has anyone got the Microsoft windows phone recovery tool working with the ativ s (it would save me a lot of time bringing my phone back to life after I blindly install updates, which I shouldn't do, but I just can't stop myself.
I just managed to enroll my ativ to the fast ring windows insider program. I did not use any trick or registry edit. Is it only me?

Haven't got it in upgrade process. For now, I don't see the rule in which phones do and which do not get 8.1.2. But would like it more than 10.Install 8.1.2. It's stable and useful with new features
P.s. Hristos Voskrese!
