[FAQ] Win 10, Installs and Upgrading.

so, if I ever needed to install from dvd (not system reset) which key should I use to tell the Windows 10 if I had claimed my upgrade? Will my Windows 8 key work?

I'll try to download the iso by 1am GMT +7..

 

No need to use any key. Windows checks your activation status from MS servers based on your computers hardwareID. Always skip the product key prompts and it will activate if you are connected to internet after installation.

 

On July 29, 2015: Will the reserved desktops and laptops get the operating system first, since all of the Windows Insiders already have the final version of the operating system, Build 10240?

 

After you Upgraded your HWID becomes the key. No need to enter any key in fresh install .

 

what if I bought a new PC and moved my Windows 8.1 License to the new PC (as per the FPP EULA, it is legal to move the license to another PC), then upgrade to Windows 10.. Will the license work as it should?

 

why wouldn't it, you moved the 8.1 to the new hardware before the upgrade. oh wait you want to upgrade and then move the license to new hardware and update AGAIN. dunno, try and let us know?

might need to call MS on that one.. AFTER the 29th lol, calling now wouldn't get you far

 

Is available to do clean install Windows 10 RTM and active with insider account after 29 july?

 

the latter scenario... I updated my old PC to Windows using my "current" Windows 8.1 license then do the same to the new PC while removing the old license from my old PC..

 

Is there and present way of getting Windows 10 to register your key by doing an upgrade first so it's a legit copy when you reinstall not doing an upgrade?

 

This part needs correction. Since Gabe stated that legit Upgrades, which were done will stay activated. No Insider Access needed at all.

 

Probably stupid question, i have an Seven Home Premium full legit.
I'd like to update to W10. With ESD i must use ?
(The pro ESD ask me for an key(i convert it to iso before)).

 

Home versions get the free upgrade to Windows 10 Home.
Windows 7 Pro gets it to Windows 10 Pro. Choose Home in your case.

 

Home Premium upgrades to 'Win 10 Home' aka Core. Professional and Ultimate will go 'Windows 10 Pro'.

 

Thank's in all ESD i din't found Home and i didn't know that it was CORE.
Regards

 

I want to test win 10 but I don't want to lose my windows 7.. I have an unused win 8 legit retail key, can I install win 8 on virtualbox and upgrade?

 

Should work.

You can also install in VM windows 7 with daz loader and update activate

 

If I use my Win 7 key to get the free Windows 10 upgrade will I be able to use the Windows 10 if I change motherboards?

 

You can't use a Win 7 Key to install Windows 10....You have to update and existing Windows 7 install and no you can't change motherboards.
