So, does anyone know for sure if we will be able to do a clean install when it officially releases, on our W7/W8.1 systems, using their "reservation system" for free upgrades? Will it be a matter of grabbing the ESD like we do now? or, will they put out an ISO generator like they did for W8?
Yes, I can. The answer is Yes, indubitably. :)
Have a look at the first post in this thread:
The Free Windows 10 Will Support Unlimited Clean Installs - Windows 10 Forums
Has anyone tried using DISM /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth command since the download of the Windows 10 "place-card" for your free Windows 10? my windows 8.1 pro cannot download the source files for correcting errors and I suspect that the KB associated with the freebie is somehow responsible for the errors and the inability to download the system files needed to correct problems. I had no problems on 6/1 but have problems now that cannot be corrected (Windows 8.1). Just wanted to know if anyone else has had this experience.

and I will lose Media Center
If you remove the Windows update KB file associated with the Windows 10 freebie, it will be replaced by the next Windows update. Sounds like virus-like activity to me!
