I upgraded from Windows 7 to Insider preview 10074 originally via the insiders web site. You always had the option to upgrade from Windows 7 or 8.1 instead of doing a clean install. Microsoft actually encouraged you to do the upgrade. That's why ISO's are so hard to find. Then I updated to each new build that came out via Windows update.
There are many reasons people wanted to do clean installs instead of upgrade, no matter what M$ preferred. The bottom line is it must comes to a reasonable solution when M$ release the official build. Aren't our Insider Previewers are VIPs?
I'm pretty sure most of us here discussing windows 10 are FANS, not necessarily trying to a save a cost of version of new Windows. Made us hard during upgrading should not be the best interest of M$.
two things:
1. ComputerWorld article definitely said that Win10 Updates will BEGIN on July 29th but will be STAGGERED for up to a month for those who wish to upgrade for free. Who's on First? I Donno.

2. I have always done a clean install when loading in a new MS OS. This will be the FIRST TIME I will skip this. I have my computer running well, all my programs work, and I know how to clean up a drive so not much left over bits and pieces in reg and drives to worry about. Dropping out of the insider program also will seem a waste since I came from a valid Win8.1 Pro OS. So I will just continue as is. As long as I get a valid Win10 Pro license that is!
I had some weird issues during the journey to b10240.
I converted a W10 b10162 VM to an Online Account.
After "jumping through the hoops" my mouse buttons stopped working (the pointer was OK).
A reboot fixed the issue.
About 12 hrs later I was offered the b10240 Upgrade.
After it "finished", my mouse stopped working.
It was "fun" trying to set the install options using the keyboard.
I was offered the chance to disable some Apps during the final setup.
A reboot fixed the mouse issue.
On my PC:
- The pinned Taskbar & Start Menu Tile Pane items survived unscathed
- The hacked theme (coloured Titlebars) also survived
I can't make the Start Menu Tile Pane thinner than 4 medium tile widths.
I can freely adjust the height though.
This version uses as much RAM as my "real" W7 install does (~1.2 GB).
It does seem to be running smoothly. :)
