Cost of Upgrade from XP to Win10Pro

I answered his question on the second post but it does not matter as the OP will not listen to anyone Even NavyLcdr

I did not claim that you did not answer, but there were other issues and need for clarifications.

I listen to everything, but not necessarily mean that I agree with or accept everything. This was a matter that I INVESTIGATED. There were all sorts of answers, some useful, some not and some were just criticizing my plan without any grounding or understanding.

Nevertheless I learned what I needed to know: That I can install 1511Pro and a machine with any 10Pro license without buying a new license. There were a lot of answers here and elsewhere that either did not make it clear, or claimed that it wasn't possible.

He did listen to any that were relevant. You can tell from his last post.

Again, you are trying to impose your notion of relevance. I can decide for myself what is relevant and what is not, thanks.

In online exchanges it is never the case that we have all the information we need in both questions and answers. One has to be careful deciding for others what is important, relevant or make sense. In many instances we may not understand the questions, or may miss something. Or difficult to pay the attention required while doing many things at once such as working and handling many responses simultaneously.

For example another forum somebody told me that I can only install the current version of Win10 on the machine and not any early version. Turns out he was assuming I don't have the 1511 ISO, which was false. But I had no way of knowing that so I took it to possibly be true and asked about it in another forum. When you do such investigations it takes time to figure things out.

That' does not mean not listening.

I said appears to be. That implies there may have been others. There were, however,posts trying to tell the OP to do something else, rather than answer the question.

There are many ways to get your problem resolved. Remember Google is your friend. You can always join the Insiders Program then download the Build that you want.

My problems IS resolved. I have a copy of 1511Pro ISO and I now know that any system with 10Pro on it will do.
Period.

As to the suggestion of Insider Program (1) Why would I who said I want nothing to do with MS and am forced to install 1511 only because of their mess, want to to join? Would that be consistent? If you meant that I could get 1511 build that way, that was never the issue--I always had it. I knew that I would want to stick with it early on and I got the ISO.
