    Which should I choose to upgrade to w10-W7 OEM-slp or W7 sp1 Retail?


    Which should I choose to upgrade to w10-W7 OEM-slp or W7 sp1 Retail?

    Here was my setup when I was an insider

    Primary Partition 1 Windows 7 Retail
    Primary Partition 2 Windows 10 preview upgraded from windows 7 oem-slp.*
    Partition 5 Xubuntu
    Partition 6 Linux swap.

    I can go that way above with the windows 10 release or I can go this way

    Primary Partition 1 Windows 7 Oem-slp
    Primary Partition 2 Windows 10 retail upgraded from windows 7 oem-slp.*
    Partition 5 Xubuntu
    Partition 6 Linux swap.

    *This will eventually be a clean install.

    What ever you want to. In the end you have to decide.

    If you get the free upgrade, it will upgrade either the OEM7>OEM10 or the Retail7>retail10, if you keep one version of 7. The most useful would be the retail, since that is transferable if the motherboard dies, but the OEM will die with it.
