UPGRADE Enterprise Windows 8.1 - choose CORRECT download
Hi there
Just a warning -- there are TWO different versions of W10 technical preview -- Non Enterprise and the Enterprise version.
If you like me are running the Enterprise version of Windows 8.1 as a VM or as a HOST then you will need the ENTERPRISE VERSION in order to do an update in place -- if you download the NON enterprise version then it will only offer you keep personal files.
You also need to install the same LANGUAGE version - so English on English (if using UK then UK version on UK version).
So for people who want to do an inplace upgrade rather than a clean install -- CHECK WHICH VERSION you are downloading -- there are TWO different one's.
Hopefully this warning will save other people time and prevent them from making the same mistake that I did -- (fortunately having "cloned" VM's it wasn't to bad to repeat the upgrade process again with another copy of my W8.1 M).
I don't think the download links are that clear --there's an ENTERPRISE VERSION and NON ENTERPRISE version -- for Windows to go use the ENTERPRISE version.
Cheers
