    You will get more KBs as Insider than regular ISO's

    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?

    Based on the long history of having nothing to compare it to...

    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.

    So the best bet, would be to stay in the insider program untill after the 29th?

    you can leave insider convert the esd to iso install and activate your legit win 8 then do the upgrade you will be activated and then you can clean install win10

    The issue we have on this is no way to test this. We do not know if that is a future implementation through an update or not. I cannot test it as I am a legit Win 8 user. I do know when I I did a clean install, no internet access as Windows does not install my NIC, and no MSA entered as soon as I installed my NIC driver it activated.

    A bigger test would some one who upgraded from an non genuine windows version, opt out of the insider program and set their bios ( not windows clocks ahead 5 or 10 years) and see what happens. And I mean where you have the non genuine watermark not through a loader or slic bios table injection.

    I didn't and I'm not worried I will be deactivated.

    What that guy may have been trying to say but didn't know how to put into words is that if you upgrade and then clean install and because you are a MSA you get activated. Then you drop out of the insiders you might (will) get deactivated if you started with an illegal copy of windows...the most important part of the whole thing he left out.

    Are the MS activation servers for W10 up and running? I thought I read they turned them off until 7/29.

    TIA

    i, gonna be on the safe side and wait. I dont think we will have to wait for the insiders as they already have it. I think at the norm time of day it will be available to be pushed out to everyone at the same time. So I would say just wait :)
