It will probably require a COA sticker.
Doubt it will retreave 8's key from the BIOS, either. If your COA sticker melted, then you should do the in-place upgrade instead.

Major reason why MS is cautious about removing/upgrading code is that their no.1 goal with a new Windows is backwards compatibility...and that's both Windows' greatest pro and con. If MS made a...
Insider Program was a good idea pre-RTM, allowing users a legitimate means to test dev builds of the next version of Windows, but besides the new memory manager, post-RTM builds so far are mostly...
I like the explanation for the delay. Yes, if Insider builds had crippling/significant bugs (typical of actual betas), then people wouldn't use them, and MS wouldn't get feedback they're looking for...
Yes, post-release updates generally didn't add new features (just Service Packs and 8.1), whereas 10 does (tho won't happen until the first "feature update" for consumers).
Yes, Win10 Enterprise pre-RTM builds had pre-release keys, but 10240 should have deactivated you, as Enterprise only works with volume licencing.
If you want, you can reinstall a pre-RTM...
There's 3 levels under "Feedback and Diagnostics" in Windows 10. "Full" sends memory snapshots to MS which can obviously include personal information.
Now I dunno about you, but although lawyers...
That's Enterprise. Enterprise SKUs don't have "hardware-based" activation and instead rely on volume licencing since it's meant for businesses (KMS, MAK, MTK, etc)
If you upgrade Pro from 10240 to...
On a system where I was formally on the Insider Program, it literally instantly offered 10532 the moment I signed up (via WU, then prompted me to sign up via website, then signed up on WU after...
lol
:).
I solved the issue for colored titlebars a while ago in 10240 (thanks tenforums!!!), but as soon as there's sexy new features (looking at you Edge, and maybe adding full Aero) I'm back in :).
I'm waiting for an Insider build with interesting changes/features.
Tenforums had a guide on changing titlebar colors for months now :).
I don't have the added info under "Insider Builds", but I did notice under regedit that I was changed to the
TH2 Preview branch.
That it's only tied to 1 machine, just like with an upgrade from 7/8 OEM.
Upgrades worked fine for me on all systems. Didn't even bother clean installing.
Windows 10 pulled updated drivers, so replaced my depreciated Win7 wifi drivers and such. Meant that there were no...
Win10 registers via HWID after you upgrade/purchase Win10 from the Store (on an un activated copy of 10).
That said, this 8++ makes no sense. 10 has money making methods for MS, such as data...
It IS a free Upgrade, and carries OEM rights (yeah, people upgrading from retail copies of 7/8 get cheaped out a bit, but they still carry the rights of their original licence for 7/8...)
I...
Yup, Insider Hub has "quests" (test system features/apps) and allows you to rate your build. You should def submit build feedback, as it will label your build for when MS looks over feedback (they'd...
Thanks :D :D :D
Gotta reinstall 7, then upgrade via Windows Update or ISO. After you do that, you can clean install.
When you reinstall 7, make sure you update to the point that you can see the GWX Windows 10...
80% :D
*breathing intensifies*
Bunneh!
Your PC's on US Region and system locale, right?
Also set to Fast Ring, search for updates, restart, search for updates again (change region/locale, I'm sure en-us locales got 10240...
This.
Also
NEW BUUUUUUUUUUUUILD!
Probably, but this is only what the leaked 10176 build has. It's possibly a placeholder, as MS has one important issue to think about - what if someone wants to leave the Insider Program but stay on...
Hehe, sounds like AMD actually has the better Windows 10 drivers right now. 0 problems with AMD via WU drivers.
