    I run 8.1 Pro volume edition on KMS and I was able to register for the upgrade.
    I'll just wait and see... :)

    According to their statement Enterprise and VL customers are not included in the home offer. They may also be able to get it but through their companies and outside of the auto update.

    " Some editions are excluded: Windows 7 Enterprise, Windows 8/8.1 Enterprise, and Windows RT/RT 8.1. Active Software Assurance customers in volume licensing have the benefit to upgrade to Windows 10 enterprise offerings outside of this offer. "

    I and a huge lot of others, do not under any circumstances want the standard install delivered from the manufacture.
    Therefore I also need to know that a key is delivered with the upgrade.
    I know that it not really necessary, but it will be a huge advantage not to first install Win7/8.1 and then update from Store every time you need to reinstall.

    I reserved my windows 10 copy. I am running windows 8.1. Can I clean install 10 preview or I have to keep running 8.1 in order to get the free copy of 10?

    Restore? VSS? There are many things which can eat HDD space.
