True indeed as for me am looking at all possibilities as i don't wish to be sent on a wild goose chase plus the time it consumes going throw installing software and downloading other os plus updates to get windows 10 running i have windows 8.1 and 7 on standby .. Now i will just wait for six days seems the logical thing to do..?
There were no keys and I didn't install it anywhere but within VM using my MSA, everywhere else I just used a local account until I was done and it was activated. HOWEVER, and this is important, if you are staying connected as a tester you ARE getting at least a few updates that normal people who installed this are not. I had a conversation with somebody about this last night. He posted his update log and least one or two of his updates were marked as "insider" updates and I have never gotten them on any of my PCs. So while the initial code was the same for everybody it's no longer that way if you stay an insider.
You won't get them if you install Insider's ESD to ISO, and upgrade from a valid 7/8.1 without being Insider either. Build is exactly the same, and will be the same of everybody GA build with more patches...
correct again. Once you install the base code (rtm) how it evolves is based on whether you stay an insider or stay out.
So, you're saying that, if you upgraded from a legit Windows 8.1 to Windows 10 ( ESD to ISO ) , and did a reset whilst being in the insider program, you'll lose your legit activation? *EDIT* Not talking about Windows 10 OEM.
Anyone having issues with Nvidia drivers? I installed the latest one (335.30) screen went black and it messed up my install completely. Now as soon as it boots screen goes black and I can't do anything, can't even go in safe mode. Is there a workaround for this?
They've said something to the effect of losing activation if you leave the insider program, but there's been no evidence of that actually happening. It's possible that they meant for future insider builds or something.
left insider program installed my win 8 legit did the upgrade from win10 10240 esd and its activated so all good can clean install now if I want
