Considering that, if you’re part of the Insider program, Windows automatically updates to the latest build for you, most users won’t have to do anything. However, if you’ve been doing something that prevents automatic updates (ex: keeping your computer offline), you should force an update sooner rather than later.

On October 15, they won’t boot at all. Today’s version, Build 14926, won’t expire until May 1st, 2017.

One can only speculate, but it’s possible that Windows wants to make sure its Insiders continue to test features as fast and furiously as they come, and to get as many users as possible onto the Anniversary Update (though normal users may have to wait until November). Insiders can grab the latest update by going to Settings > Update & security > Windows Update.
