    What happens if a user upgrades to Windows 10, and decide they hate it and want to go back to using Windows 7 or 8.1? I feel like that might be an important issue .

    Why do you need the Windows 7 Freecell? W10 comes with The Games collection that includes Freecell.
    IMHO, the W10 games look UGLY! Also, I don't want to have a OneDrive connection!

    They simply restore the image they took before installing win 10! Oh, they didn't do one? Too bad - they will soon learn to live with/love win 10. After all, it has more future in it than win 7/8.

    https://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/4...ous-build.html This is how to do that. But not sure if it will be available after the RTM or GA if that is what you are thinking about.

    Ummm, they didn't mention that I would lose my sanity, if I switched to Windows 10 ... just not very thoughtful of that article writer.

    MS did say at the start of the insider program that this was interned for experienced testers/users. You took your chance.. sorry for your loss.

    slightly of topic am I correct in thinking you will loose the right too keep using w7 i.e. you have too give up your reg key as it is transferred onto w10 upgrade and too keep using w7 purchase of a new key will be required

    Who is talking about the Insider Program, I am talking about the RC.

    I think not because if that were the case then W10 would not be free.

    Here we go, sorry, semantics...
    Microsoft never said 10 would be free, just the upgrade. I read that so; I will not have to pay for install media or pay for an upgrade key(add features).
