What if - I need to reinstall??
Will win 10 be with a backup? Can I order a backup reinstall disc? If I need to reinstall at a later date, is there a link?

for now - with the preview > Download Windows 10 Insider Preview ISO File - Windows 10 Forums
this is the probable route to go:
USB Flash Drive - Create to Install Windows 10 - Windows 10 Forums
many thanks
or you could just make a recovery drive from the control panel - recovery - create a recovery drive
the info you posted requires the ISO anyway and has to many NOT needed steps
the issue people have is they do not use a format FAT32 USB and copy the ISO contents to a NTFS formatted USB and it will not boot UEFI
thus the need for rufus and diskpart
sorry, yes that was my thinking, a stick drive is the best way. I can make it label it and keep it safe. I have a recovery stick for 8.1 and a media installation stick for 8.1 by the pc.
windows 10 recovery makes a OS ONLY recovery drive.. No need for the recovery partition anymore
10 creates a reconstruct.wim instead of an install.wim - with a completely different layout.

you can capture any program or customizations into a .ppkg file stored on the C drive using the user state migration tool
then your programs and settings will be carried over into the recovery
I am still in the process of testing the recovery and customizations - been doing a lot of very interesting reading about the processes now used for windows 10 > much different then windows 8.1
once you create the provisioning package ( .ppkg ) you can add the customizations and setting to any prepped install.wim
or so it seems to read
looks like i'll have to add a few lines of code to my Imageprep script for use with windows 10
not having used win 10 at all, you lost me on the word 'create' - but I am going to immediately install 10 on my laptop firstly when available, and play with it on there before even attempting an upgrade on my big pc.
refer to post 2 to download the latest preview
double click the ISO file to MOUNT it as a drive in windows 8.1 (or right click and select burn to DVD)
and then copy it's contents to a formatted Fat32 USB
the run setup on your laptop (DVD or USB) if windows 7 or windows 8 / 8.1
or boot from USB or DVD and do a clean install of windows 10
