I do have a dual boot setup. Disconnect the other drives during an install or update. I will continue to dual boot in the future. My win 7 will be my main OS and I will upgrade my win 8.1 pro. I expect my win 8.1 to be deactivated as I plan to replace with Win 10 so I don't care. My Win 7 won't be deactivated.
It's not on my side panel because I don't use it ever and never will. I have read all the posts in this thread and no I don't plan on taking part in the insiders program once Win 10 is released. I plan on dual booting as in the past and if Win 10 works out for me then that will be my OS and will discontinue using Win 7. I have done this procedure with every new OS. I was not happy with 8, 8,1 so I reverted back to Win 7 never to use Win 8.1 again.
This for the people that are talking about dual booting.
Let say you two windows 7 both retail key
Are you saying Microsoft not going to allow any type of dual booting windows 7 & 10 by deactivating the windows 7 key even if you upgraded from one of them? If so, that stinks and it makes Microsoft windows 10 sp...can't say yet tell further testing.
I am going to do further testing to see if the upgrade key changes or stays the same after deleting the pid.txt file.
