    Windows 10 install question


    Hi folks, I upgraded to Windows 10 a few days after it was released, and I then performed a clean install, (I like it fresh). My question is, what happens if I need to clean install this OS (because of malware or some such) after July? Will I need to buy it? Also, if I don't need to buy it again where would I download the .exe to get it installed? Should I save it now on a USB to be safe?

    Once you upgraded to Windows 10 your computer was registered in the data base at MS. You will be able to do a clean install for free for as long as you own that computer.
