It convinced me. Think about what they would have to do to deactivate it and since this is the same code as OEMs are building new PCs with they would get deactivated too or not activated to begin with. It's not going to happen.
if its activated after upgrading from genuine yes you can clean install at will but you can also delete your windows old only if you wish disc cleanup\ clean system files option and choose previous win installs
Source your so confident, I hope all is OK, but were does it say that, I don't care what they sent to OEM's, where does it say from MS it's OK to clean install now.
They won't, what early reason would they want to? Just so they can get reams of bad press and anger every tester they have and every journalist who writes about it? As somebody above said if they didn't want it tested they wouldn't have let you test it and they certainly wouldn't be updating a build that is going to die in a few days the way they are. If I had a farm I would bet it that nothing will happen after the 29th other than some more new fixes.
I'm doing a clean install of this build but it asks me for a product key. To you know the product key for this build?
I didn't say that would happen in general, but since MS keeps track of ALL Upgrades on their Servers, they can easily determine what underlaying OS was used and how this was activated. No problem to trigger fishy ones to de-activate. Still the question remains will they do .
source =common sense .. why MS want to do that ?... if the free upgrade worked before 29th I doubt MS will say oh those 1 million ppl that activate before GA will get fuk***** we will deactivate their free windows for all !!!! bahahahahahaha we are Evil
Everything I've seen says wait till 29th, to be on safe side I am doing just that, that does not mean that anything will change, but
Well yeah if they weren't legal and you used a MSA insiders's account and then you quit the program I believe you will get deactivated and they have said you will. I am only talking about totally legal underlying OSes that you have clean installed after an upgrade and without using a MSA. If you did that and it was activated there is no reason on earth they will kill it. For a second let's say they did then my guess is all you would have to do is reboot to get it activated because everything was legal today is still legal on Thursday...so you see why I am so confident they won't touch it.
ppl .. they are giving this oS for millions for free ( including insiders). do you honesty think they will care if you upgrade 1 week earlier ? ... common sense ppl
