yeah this is right i know ...microsoft for reach 1 billion devices they need the whole world use it this is one benefits microsoft give in million people free permantly Windows 10..otherwise can't reach this number which need 2-3 years and still don't believe with that move they can't reach it
I'm still picking up tidbits here and there, Like when EFA11, said after upgrade, when doing clean install, if box comes up asking for key, we should skip it.
There may be lots of confusion out there but Microsoft has said it is free for the life of the device...meaning no subscription The downgrade is not clear from what they have said. You may or may not be able to go back after a month. But if you are using a SLIC licensed Windows 7, I doubt they would go to the extra trouble they would need to go to block reinstalling it and using SLIC lock on it again. It isn't clear but a purchased retail license may also give you the right to reinstall the older version at any time.
When we finally get the last of the 10240 home sl esd files, I'm going to ask tito to close it. After 500+ pages, ppl just start sh**posting. MDL should have the chat thing enabled on every thread so people who are bored can type in that instead. EDIT: I guess we can leave it open for a while and see how it goes...
If you upgrade to win 10 & activation is tied to your hardware & say your device needs a new hard disk would that disable your activation so as before if with windows 8.1 your hard disk crash you replace it & remain activated Its not about being happy or unhappy with windows 10 is about the rights you give up when you upgrade & replace your original License The Downgrade policy must be clear As The upgrade Policy so user know what they are agreeing to when they upgrade THEIR system
Totally agree with you but then you would have to look extract the Windows product keys from the BIOS but i have never had a hdd break on me so i personally don't know ..?
That's the only thing about this upgrade offer that sucks, they don't give you an upgrade key. At least with a key you can use phone activation when you replace your motherboard.
Yes The upgrade I got for windows 8 gave me a key I know I Paid a small fee But why have Microsoft appear to be going away from keys for activation As they often blacklist keys in the past As that said is it simple because piracy is more round KMS activation now Which they can change
Android and apple provide the OS for free.. They charge you a fee or subscription for the apps.. A company can not survive on selling 1 OS every 10 years.. The money (yearly income) is in the subscription fees..
I get why they do it, it just doesn't seem like a particularly sweet deal for a pc enthusiast. I change my motherboard at least once every few years.
