Both Windows 10 and 8.1 on a PC. Is a choice necessary before End July
My brother in law downloaded W10 some time ago and reverted to 8.1 having had a problem with some files . He has just asked me the following question:
As you know I currently have Windows 8.1 installed on my PC.
Some time ago I downloaded the free issue of Windows 10 and installed it on my PC. I found it difficult to find all the existing information that was previously saved on my 8.1 version so reverted back to 8.1. The update to Windows 10 is still in my Windows update folder. After 29th July will I still be able to re-install Windows 10 even though the free update offer will have been closed?
I understand he is getting W10 notifications or updates so Microsoft are seemingly think he is a W10 user. Does he have to decide to switch to W10 and would he lose W 8.1 or can he keep both versions on the one machine?
Any advice greatly appreciated
