That was for different reasons you can't compare the two... and im pretty sure Microsoft ethics have changed this isn't the XP days man people cant let that OS goo... The reason they skipped 9 is because Windows 8 was already in the 9K builds they wanted to sync Kernel, and build, Windows 10 was born. The way ballmer/sinofsky ran the team was complete garbage...
That's my question as well. Do we HAVE to go back to 10130 then upgrade to whatever the new build(s) will be, then continue to upgrade (instead of clean install) up to RTM?
Before thinking to an eventual downgrade, wait that Gabe release something before, at least you can try to update the build 147 and see what happening.
They average around 3-5 builds every 2-3 days at least that's what i've counted most of the time most of the updates they do to the OS have nothing to do with winmain.wim or impressive
"They" say you have to be on 130 to upgrade, the rest would be speculation since there hasn't been a new official build in about a month to test it with.
hm, simply wait and see if any future official build runs upon your leaked one. If not you easily can reinstall 10130 and upgrade just normal
Pretty sure Gabe said you will be able to upgrade from any build, the only problem with upgrading from a leaked build is that some problems that occur in that build might carry over to the **next** release build... i went back to 10130 from 147 because of that reason.
I don't think anybody would ever want to upgrade to the final code from a test build anyway because you would never know what testing code might be left over in it. If they for some reason force you to upgrade before you can download the iso (and it seems that IS what they are saying) then do the upgrade, download the is and format your disk and start over. Of course somebody else will have long ago already downloaded and posted it so you can avoid that upgrade to begin with.
Sorry i didn't mean official i meant next build.. I intend on doing a fresh reformat when the final code comes
