Some may want to remove the insider preview evaluation watermark.
Is this download / tutorial specific to only to the system requirement not met watermark or is it for any watermark that may appear in the right lower corner?

Hello mate, :)

Correct. This is only for the "System requirements not met" bit of the watermark.
