Why anyone would choose to install this build now with an activator is beyond me? Wait 5 more days do the darn upgrade and then you have REAL ACTIVATION>
There is no need to wait for anything, only Insider activations have been deactivated, everything else works as it should. I have just upgraded 8.1 to 10 without a key and it activated, then I did a clean setup without a key and it activated just fine.
well, im sorry guys but i didnt understand the activation process of win 10 from upgrade verywell.. lets see.. if I have an win 7 activated and I want to upgrade, for free, for win 10 rtm, Ill have to do the upgrade as normal. But if I want a clean installation what changes? I see some talking abou "machine" activation/bios related thing"??? wth? EDIT.: btw.. If I upgrade for win 10 from 7 or 8 or 8.1 I will have an official activated windows 10 installation. so, what happens to the serial used to activate my previous windows? If Im understanding correctly, I could just install win 10 and use my win 7 official serial to activate it? is that correct? EDIT2.: any chance of somebody uploading windows 10 rtm pt-br isos on mega??? please? please?
While that's plausible based on statements MS has made (they'll upgrade pirated versions), this is such a weird way to go about it... If MS wanted huge adoption rates, they should have just made Windows 10 Home free for everyone, with Pro availble for people who bought Windows before. I'm still curious what will happen on 29th. it's possible they'll release a new patch that will check prior activation status for all systems NOT in Insider Program.
I have bought one 8.1 Pro licence for $30 and another one online for $15, now I have got 2 free 10 Pro, I do not complain.
in any case, with the upgrade thing going on for not official copies of win 7 and 8.1, it opens a brand new world of ideas to make an loader that can emulate win 7 by date to bypass win 10 check and activate it as legit... is that correct? or am i dreaming like hell here?
woah, now thats intresting... but I cant imagine its possible since the HWID still needs to be registered on microsofts end. Basically we all have 1 year to get free activation.
hmm.. see.. some can try to emulates vendors slics to inject their codes so windows activate machines as oem. then.. maybe, this could make possible to do the same with win 10 oem partners.. right? or wrong? Daz, any comments? edit.: in the end maybe this will work as it works with win 7 and daz loader. see. if micro$oft liberate free upgrade even for not legit installations of win 7, by using the hdwid, so emulating vendors/oems hdwids will have the same result.. what do you guys think?
