Just installed win 7 ultimate with multi oem projects on an old Dell Inspiron 1525 with modded BIOS to get win 10, can MS see that everything is fake? Must i have a win7 coa sticker?
WHAT i did was - join insider - doload th latest full iso v10130 insert into and upgrade make an image... then format and clean install - then get validated as a nice Pirate going legal...
going with the 10130 forward to GA, do the insiders who get the free upgrade from the TP have to continue giving their telemetry etc etc forever? just askin (Sayin?)
They're faded because the toner or ink doesn't seem to be of the same quality than the one used to print the blank sticker. Now add temperature, dust, UV-light, air... Surprisingly, on an old HP PC of mine with Vista label, it was the exact opposite: Everything on the sticker was faded and washed away, except for the 25-digit key. I wish they'd put that kind of stuff in their printer cartridges
According what I'd read from MS, YES, Telemetry etc. will stay for Insiders (at least). Only if you opt out as Insider, that may will be not working, if you latest on July 28. 2015 opt out from Insider's!! As I'd understand those infos, to carry on to be an insider, you'll get new builds etc. even after one year, while, if you opt out, you don't! Personally, for testing purpose, I'll use both way and use one of my MS accounts for to opt out from Insider while the other will stay!
Starting with the next build you NEED to be a Insider or there will be no update for you waiting and thus no RTM. Heck here is a quote straight from Microsofts blog if you don't believe me. You’ll need to connect the MSA that you registered for the Windows Insider Program with (and accepted the “Microsoft Windows Insider Program Agreement”) in order to continue receiving new Windows 10 Insider Preview builds (both Fast and Slow rings) from Windows Update.
I used to use win 7 ultimate with hp slic key (my HP laptop was formatted with linux, so not original win install) I then used win 8.1 with microsoft toolkit. Now I used win 7 pro with legit sticker serial on my laptop, then installed win 10 as update (insider) I dare say, even with windows and bios SLIC only, it would work, surely its identical to manufacturer release.... time will tell, but mines all setup ready to go anyway now, all legit.
What do you think I wrote: "Personally, for testing purpose, I'll use both way and use one of my MS accounts for to opt out from Insider while the other will stay!" for what? Not to know what you were need to mention?!
