Reffering to the upgrade procedure, from 8.1 to 10, as now i understood that it activates based on ur hardware ID, that means that i can install or reinstall it without any limitations ? If i decide to do a clean install next year it will still work right ? Then whats the difference between upgrade methos and buying an original retail copy of it ? The upgrade method is cheaper and i dont see any reason why somebody would buy the retail
All we can do if someone is not activated is take chill Pill Someone post MS's telephone number in US
If you have a genuine install of Windows 7 SP1 or Windows 8.1 they are giving you a free Window 10 version for the life of the computer activation tied to the hardware id. So why buy if they are giving you a free upgrade.
hope your wrong about blocking installs. i have 3 legit keys i upgraded this week to 10. all still activated and updating. i just did my old mans pc today as well. that had daz loader on 7. went fine and shows active as well. really dont see them flagging them by now. i did full clean install on all of them as well after install and activation. full wipes and reinstall all still active.
I have machine with 2 win 7 boot disks (bios selectible at boot up). If i upgrade and activate win 10 on one disk is other activated also?
It's sort of like dual boot but in the bios at boot up (Asrock motherboard). I thought if win 10 activation is keyed to hardware profile maybe 2nd disk would also be activated.
i hope some of you are wrong. i see no issue to even re-download or flash rtm oem. as these with updates should theoretically be updated to said latest version. maybe for a backup.
