if it comes back retail there is no renew time. only KMS activation gets 180 days (or less depending on edition of windows.)
Just noticed that the WZor leak thread was stickied(I seldom read the stickies) ..... if a 10240 thread is to be stickied, I would propose this thread from murphy, it's comprehensive, it's direct MS download, and it's many days earlier then the WZor leak......... ...... anyway, it's mod's decision, and the 7/29 MS release is just s few days away, there would probably be some depository thing coming out.
Yep, BUT ... this one offers ISOs and spares the dreaded begging for them in murphs thread (should be kept in mind).
So is everyone who updates from Windows 7/8.1 to Windows 10 getting the ***** Volume/MAK key? That seems a little odd to me.
I would be worried if I was running a volume license version of being deactivated, people would of been better off installing Windows 7 with a modded bios and then upgrading to 10 to get a retail install, much safer!
Running for first time windows 10 after upgrade and clean install from win 7. What have they done to the Shutdown, Logon and Logoff Sounds??? I really do miss those! Also i still don't know if i like the start menu more than 7. It's again a OS we have to customize to you're personal taste, like resize space between desktop icons disable apps, etc. Other than that it runs smooth as 7 does.
Setting up some 10240 vms and I have the rollup msu pre-integrated. The setup is a little different and the automatic association with insider program is no longer default. You have to OPT IN to the insider program even with a correct insider acct. I'm guessing we'll get GA images instead of msdn copies of the OEM rtm. Edit: now that I think about it, I'm not sure I've actually had the 10240 installed with an insider acct. I could just be paranoid.
With all the wailing and gnashing of teeth that is taking place in the lead-up to the release of Windows 10, it makes one wonder what all the pissants were doing on December 31, 1999 at 23:59:59.
All I have to say is that Windows 10 freaking SUCK. The Microsoft Store APPS are pandering to tablet people since it's a crappy basic APPS that doesn't work like a regular desktop programs. For instant you can freaking use CTRL+F in these stupid APPS. They are there to look nice and with very limited functions. Be prepare to download alternative program like you have been doing since XP. Can't believe they still have the crappy MS PAINT on it. That show us how much effort they have put into this terribly disappointed W10.
I've run 8 since it came out, if not before... and I've never used an app yet.... remember they are optional, you can run and should run normal programs then you don't need to complain
I'm curious to know if people who upgraded this way can sub in the generic retail key. Like maybe it's just generic mak because volume, but the hardware is what's important? Gah... I hate being busy with other stuff. So many things to test.
