Twitter People-These are the questions you should be asking Gabe from MS Since Window Insiders now get free copy of Win 10, will it be just activated or Genuine, All copies now are activated on installation, but are not genuine. Will you be able to get Windows updates on a non genuine activated copy of Win 10 How long is the Upgrade from Windows Insiders Preveiw good for as to upgrade to Final 2 months later requires a qualifing OS under Windows 10. The reasons for asking is who wants a activated copy of Win 10 that is not Genuine. In years past you could install a Windows OS, the same one, on as many partitions as you liked, as long as they were on same computer, Is Win 10 the same (this way you can try different things on a partition thats not your main one to see if they work) Yo Gabe
You know what I have found out in my lifetime? I can speculate, and surmise all I want, but eventually all will be revealed. All I must do is sit back, and be patient. I know I will get my Windows 10, and I know I will be happy!
On a non genuine copy of Win 10, you can't upgrade to Final, can you get updates on non genuine windows, could not on previous versions
I wish it were as easy as you think, but what you have forgotten is Microshaft gives nothing away for free
Yes your OK as long as you have genuine OS under Win 10 to start, then you can format and clean install Upgrade to Final (GA) too
Here is what I would be concerned about..MS says you need a MS account and internet connection for the insiders program and I wonder if you also will for the free upgrade, I am guessing you do and you might even need both to install windows 10 at any time and if you do then watch out for subscription based windows in the future, just like office is going now. That is where they will make their money, not now but in the future.
