Re: [Update] Windows 10 Discussion
on 29th July new build or just updates?
i thought we o ready have RTM. so why we need new build or updates on 29th July if we are on RTM build?
yeah your right i upgraded first then i did clean install.
i think windows 10 remembers my windows 8.1 serial key when i did clean install.
maybe windows 10 saved my win 8.1 key in the BIOS or on Microsoft server.
so you can format your hard disk drive and still be activated permanently. or forever

the one that's released on 29th should have the updates build into it one now should get the updates on 29th from windows updates
think once upgrade is done and activated it saves it to Microsoft server so once you clean install it activate automatically

Re: [Update] Windows 10 Discussion
Well I just downloaded 10240 to try on my laptop which all works nice but it won't activate.
So I think I'll just wait a couple of weeks and get the 'proper' one now
-------------
edit - sorted, I activated it via the command line

Why not become an 'insider' after the 29th July and get Windows 10 for free without risking your Windows 7 activation?

Re: [Update] Windows 10 Discussion
It seems ok - no cortana yet though. It says it's disabled on this region. I bet it was a us iso. I can live without that for a couple of weeks though
