Just waiting for someone on the interwebs to try it out with a 8.1 key and see if it works without first going down the upgrade path.

Good luck to those about to see Windows 10 for the first time!

The info is hiding here: http://www.winbeta.org/news/day-one-...download-links
Edit: My build now has the option to defer updates (As I am on Windows 10 Pro after updating from my MS Store copy of Windows 8 Pro), and I can officially leave the Insiders group too in the settings menu.
My PC updated with this in the early hours of last night.
As for finding build numbers, I honestly couldn't tell you now they've hidden them! :p

Thanks, the other half said it updated something when closing down last night so i have no idea if i am on the latest or not now as typing 'winver' in Cortana just says Version 10 (build 10240)

you got to upgrade first before you can clean install as that give the hardware ID for a clean install to activate

Re: [Update] Windows 10 Discussion
Does anyone know if you will be able to set up a dual boot system with 8.1 and 10, until you are more confident that everything is ok with 10? Or at least be able to make a system backup of 8.1 and restore it if necessary.

Already done all that using Cortana, but it doesn't give the FULL build number unfortunately.

Re: [Update] Windows 10 Discussion
Please encourage my laziness of not having to scroll through all the previous discussions and can someone please tell me simple terms answers to the following?
Will I lose all my pictures/documents etc? What prog/applications/features will I gain and what will I lose I'm on Windows 7? What is the best/worst features of Windows 10? How long on average to download it  ? Has anyone upgraded to 10 and wished they hadn't. Finally is it reversible?

Here's a fairly comprehensive review of W10 vs W8 and W7, pro's and cons.
As for your data always back up before making any significant system changes. Data should be preserved but if the upgrade crashed then who knows?
