I just did as an experiment deinstalled my Enterprise key and got not activated after that then I went to settings and it said got to the store but no Button ! So I guess it's only for pro users
Sure, but that's also a catch. I have Windows 7 Pro retail license and I'm entitled to get a free Windows 10 license. Cool. But it happens that my old retail license will become a OEM license. At some point in the future, when replacing the hardware, I will need to purchase another copy of Windows 10. And this is especially true if Windows 10 will be "the last Windows". I feel like the retail licensing is gone and all future licenses will be OEM model or (even worse) subscription model. I'm just speculating though, and I hope I'm wrong.
Yes, we are actually offering the new software. 11:21 May I ask for the address of the sender please? 11:22 for 2 dollars us in the store right now 11:22 11:22 Yes, that is a legit email from Microsoft 11:22 I spoke to them about the offer and Microsoft CS confirmed its a legit offer so....yeah
I'm also hoping that you are wrong But we will see after RTM will hit the internet then we know more about the way activation will be
reapeat: that's not true, oem is a scare factor. I've worked in a computer service role for years and oem copies won't activate over internet many times but they will do it by phone as many times as required, all you do is explain the the nice indian lady at the call centre that you had to do a reinstall due to a hardware change, they are all fine with it and give you the code required, you could do it hundreds of times if necessary.
Chronidus : You've been here since 2007 and that's your second post? At least I know what you said is true as you felt it important enough to get a your second post in 8 years
Yeah i figured so, i wasn't sue if there were any veiwers for 10 yet. However Windows Loader 2.2.2 & Microsoft Toolkit 2.5.2 Are showing a different key from ekeyfinder. It starts With NJ4 interestingly.
What happened Sir? 11:35 I installed Windows 10 - the latest build and went to activate 11:35 ok. 11:35 when i was activating windows 10, the windows store offered me the cd-key for 2 dollars 11:36 ok. 11:36 was just wondering if that is a legitimate offer from microsoft 11:37 yes it is Peter! 11:37 And lol yeah phrunt mostly i've used this account to surf the forum, ive never been big on communities but I pop my head up from time to time. Hell if you are paranoid enough you could even just go speak to them yourselves :~D. Also I do believe my first post was a bios request years ago for an msi or asus motherboard
Don't panic, but... to say the truth, I would be worried about my credit card information. I may be wrong of course, but... pay attention and be ready to make a move if needed. UPDATE Now I'm reading Chronidus' posts and it seems I'm wrong (which makes me actually happy). But I don't regret: a small touch of paranoia is always useful lol.
Screenshots of the chatlog? Unlikely MS would say things like "Legit" And it's not an email, it's in the store
