I have windows 8.1 activated through KMS, what if I download the windows 10 iso using microsoft media creating tool and then upgrade to windows 10 from the setup (not from the upgrade message that pop-up in the taskbar). Will it be activated or not?
Yes but you'll be given a different key then other people who upgraded via RETAIL or OEM. You're given a Volume MAK which appears to be invalid, as the system and installer do not accept it from a clean install. At least I couldn't get it to accept it. Yet it works when you do an upgrade fully activated. Somewhat shady. I feel like Microsoft is doing that for the "pirate" category
I am interested in direct official Microsoft link for Win10 Enterprise ISO, that link exists at all? I can't find anywhere. Edit: I see I need "subscription" in MSDN, etc.
Go Home or Pro? Since most business features like active, domain & hyper V aren't needed by me, what are the every day benefits of using Pro version? Does it use more resources then Home?
Only benefit to Pro is ability to Defer Upgrades (delay feature updates for several months by clicking a checkbox) Resource wise they're similar, though.
It means I get Volume MAK key if I upgrade from a KMS activated system. Is there any better way to activate (not buying)? If I upgrade through the 'upgrade for free' message that pop in taskbar, is it going to be different?
Can I upgrade from Windows 8.1 KMS activated to Windows 10 activated using ISO and then do a clean install, as you mentioned somewhere that no key is required after successful upgrade to Windows 10 because then after the system is identified using HWID and setup don't ask for any key.
Download final Windows 10 ISO RTM 29 July Builds from below link: microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10
Definitely - as we don't know what M$ long term plans are. 1. Could be don't care 2. Could be get all pirated versions updated, wait a month then deactivate them 3. Could be to see if its profitable to upgrade as many as possible and see if worthwhile One just has to wait and see
They could very well be doing that with Daz-loadered upgrades as well, couldn't they? Assuming they know about Daz loader, which they almost certainly do, they can presumably detect it during the upgrade.
Help!! I clicked to open dreamweaver cs6 after upgrade Win 10 Pro 64bits and it won't start up. All of the others Adobe programs run perfectly
