As far as I can tell, if you upgrade an existing qualifying OS, from within that OS, it is free. After that I have no clue.
It would be nice if they had hardware specific ISOs, so we could do a clean install just on that specific computer. It would prevent pirates and keep us happy.
I think it has to do with MS provided driver cause I was on 15.20 driver from Windows update and I couldn't watch a single video player video it would just refresh the page every single time I played one doesn't matter if it was from youtube vine w/e could be a bug with hardware acceleration in the MS provided drivers but I'm on 15.4 Beta on a 7870Ghz and Edge has not crashed a single time.
I noticed this build doesn't have a feedback app in it and the store icon has been resized leads me to believe they are prepping for Pre-RTM. I had it pinned to my start menu... but when I upgraded from 74 to 122 it removed like 3-4 tiles.
For me, it took a few minutes for the feedback app to appear. The app was not pinned to the start menu, but in the all-apps menu
Yeah I re-added them to my start, I know why now because those apps were completely updated/redesigned I'm really digging their app design especially the photos app...
That's certainly faster than I've done it, no doubt--out of a ramdisk, maybe?......but upgrades generally take a lot longer than fresh installs--which is why I was so impressed with the 15 minutes...
As of right now, that's all any of us are. I'm a firm believer in the old saying "Seeing is believing", or the modern version, "when it is on my machine, I believe it"...
I know that. But we get used to the option to make local account (in the end of installation windows).
Well I was wondering how MS was going to make money off Win 10, I don't know but what if when we reach RTM all we can do is upgrade, no ISO's unless we pay for them, I assumed we could get ISO being Windows Insider, but now, when they say free upgrade, what if it means just that, Upgrade, no iso, O s**t Please someone tell me I'm wrong!!!
Being a Windows Insider member we always got ISO's so I assumed we would when we reached RTM, but what if we don't, only upgrade, MS has us again if this is there plan.
All OS depend on Full install. Upgrade is only option. Even if you upgrade OS, when it clumsy you must do Full install.
