Can't see Forum's members online now, can you?

I can see you. But it looks like forum server is getting overloaded, every now and than comes up with 404 for a minute or two and takes longer to send reply.

Yes, the green dot, but not at bottom anymore.

So are we suppose to actually do anything today other than opt out on build 240? The insiders page has a media creation kit now but no product keys. I am a little confused about the process for an insider to get their copy converted to legit?

if the preview is on top of an eligible system, or the iso or install media download is, it does not need a key, the old one is used, I haven't checked whether literally, or a new number, but whichever, it's already in the installed preview and it's streamed into the .iso or install media version.

OK ... Ultra Newbie here. I have 10240 installed and intend to remain as an Insider as I do *not* have Windows 7 or Windows 8.1 to take the free upgrade. I confirmed this morning using command prompt slmgr /xpr that I have Windows Professional Edition and that it is permanently activated. And by way of slmgr /dlv .... confirmed that the version I have running is 10.0.10240.16384. I was looking around for a key code, but could not locate one on my system ... probably because I don't know how to. Anyhow, I installed Belarc Advisor & ran it .... it says I am running Windows 8.1 (snip attached) with an install date of 7/15/2015. That is the date I installed Build 10240 of Windows 10. I guess my question is .... do I truly have Windows 10 running as an Insider? Your comments and help are much appreciated.

Has Belarc Advisor been updated for Windows 10 yet?

EDIT: I just tried SPECCY from Piriform it properly reports the OS and the product key.

I thought Insiders won't get update because we are already on Build 240. I just download MS Windows 10 tool that created .iso to fresh Install Windows 10. I just checked Windows C:\ Drive I have $Windows BT Folder and $Windows WS (5.79GB). Whats going on here. I don't know what to do. Is this supposed to do anything? Shall I install fresh Windows 10 from ISO I created. I was checking yesterday didn't have that folder at all. I have been insider since build 133.

Anyone else having trouble with the Xbox app? It keeps telling me I'm not connected to the internet. Just did a clean install of 10240.

Just for fun I went here, http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/softw...load/windows10 and clicked "upgrade this PC now" on the PC I was running Insider Build 10240. The one I've been talking about that I upgraded from Windows 7. It's running, this should be interesting.

I've given up on the GWX App. I went here instead and just selected upgrade this Pc now. http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/softw...load/windows10. I did my two laptops and main desktop. I didn't time it but it took an hour or so for each PC. I did them all at the same time and just went from PC to PC to click prompts when needed. Setup failed on my laptop but went fine the second time around. They all show activated and no key was asked for. YMMV

It's installing over the preview, I'm at Installing Windows 10 37% complete.
