    Since RTM will introduce KMSv7 it will also introduce new gVLK :cool2:.

    Key acceptance of RTM will definitely be different from the Previews.

    If you have that nag KB installed about upgrading KB3035583, you probably need to go to Windows update and uninstall if you are going to get RTM here, if not on 29th of Jul it will auto download RTM, I don't know what will happen then.:D

    It will only auto-download if you reserved your copy.

    Yes but if you already got copy from here, installed it, upgraded, then clean install, what would happen:confused:

    I would uninstall KB3035583 from Windows updates if you download RTM from here

    I would think by removing (the KB) it would remove you from guaranteed download list, but we need clarification:confused:

    one thing we know for sure is, we will get it when we get it. If at all possible, I would suggest waiting until WU gives you the update. Who knows if the upgrade will work from an RTM iso or will it need to be WU only, first. Soon, we will all know

    But isn't the RTM ISO the one they ship to OEM's to install on new computers:D

    WoW, maybe he's right, we should wait for official download on 29th, Could be what MS is counting on, we install before the 29th, maybe it has to be that date or after to activate, now I don't know.:D

    Even if people download it prior to Jul 29th, say it's activated and works fine, we wont really know if it is date specific for general public until 29 Jul, maybe people who installed prior to that date will not be activated.:confused:

    RTM is also what will be on MSDN and released to OEM, one in the same. OEM's will change their editions and build new iso's/dvd etc. with bloatware and added drivers, specific branding and so on. Mostly bloatware.

    I don't know about needing specific dates, but it could very well need Windows Update to make the initial upgrade, who knows? Hell MS probably isn't sure what to do yet.

    Change 10007, I'm afraid of MS, think I'll just wait till 29 for official image, which will be very hard with all the people running around here screaming how great it is, but no one knows if they will be activated after 29 Jul, if it is date specific:D

    Remember I'm just messenger:worthy:

    I do not expect final bits to be anything more exciting than 10162 except its name "RTM". Its so close very little changes that are major will be noticed. Except KMSv7 (guessing on KMS).

    This is ruff, do to above comments I have reversed myself, I downloaded KB3035583, reserved my copy and will wait for Jul 29th, the reason is if the RTM is date specific, that means it has to be installed on 29 Jul or after, I'm just to afraid to play with this.:D

    so what is the deal if we stay on 62 insider can upgrade to RTM or we need to install a valid 7 or 8 to upgrade or can we upgrade on 62 and input our valid serials from 7or 8?
