So much time was wasted discussing rollback, licenses, clean installs, etc. Our licenses will not expire on July 29. No need to rush or speculate. Everyone has one full year to find out what the real deal is. If in doubt, stay on Insider until everything is clear. Or just buy a separate license. One thing is for sure. Nothing is FREE. There will only be a trade-off.

Are you saying "Calm down, don't panic, there's no hurry!"?

Gotta remember that if we remain an Insider that we'll continue to get beta bits; I'm guessing that when we get those that there will be bugs . . . but, if there are no more bugs than I've found so far, I guess I can live with it. :)

Insiders have always the possibility to switch to slow ring. Even less bugs.

I only have one major bug, my optical drive still does not work since I switched to Win 10 build 10310!

since I switched to Win 10 build 10310

Didn't know it was that far along, just got 10159 today! Updated my Desktop then converted and burned the DVD for use on my Notebook.

Exactly sir. Like what you said above. :)

I just don't get it. As if MS will run out of copies? :)

If you have Windows 7 Home Premium, when you upgrade you'll get Windows 10 Home. There's a chart somewhere that tells us what we'll get when we upgrade.

@Wynona

That not I was talking about, of course that suppose to be the case. I hope Microsoft didn't ignore my feedback or a lot of people will be getting pro version for free or have to do a roll back. I will explain once again. I guess a lot of people here use windows pro so they wouldn't really know what happens with the home version. I did several test upgrades with my system. I use Macrium image to restore my system.

I have windows 7 service pack 1 OEM.

Method one
Windows update

It would of upgraded from windows 7 sp1 OEM home premium to windows home 10 build 10070

Method two
USB Stick

I upgrade from Windows 7 sp1 OEM home premium and it upgrade to windows 10 build 10130 pro preview. I used a usb stick to do the upgrade from the 10130 iso

Method three
USB Stick

This time before doing the upgrade, I deleted the pid.txt in the sources folder on the usb stick.

Yeppers, but I like squishing bugs!

Are you saying that if you try to install from a DVD it won't work? FYI, mine worked for installing from DVD.

Or, are you saying it won't work to play a video. FYI, mine didn't either in 10130, and now in 10159, Blue Ray still won't play, but a regular video DVD will play.

Edit: When I tested the DVD with the movie, I was informed that there's a new version of VLC, so I'll go get that and test again.

I see what you're saying, but I'm betting Microsoft has that covered too. Once you've downloaded the correct upgrade to your computer, most likely you won't be able to upgrade that to a higher version unless you have the proper key.

And I do believe we'll be getting keys; why else would a clean install of 10158 and/or 10159 require a key . . . just a thought.
