1399709 2015-05-06 13:03:00 I assume when you apply for the upgrade you get a new key to use which would work for fresh installs or they'll allow Windows 10 to activate on old Windows 7/8 keys. Windows 7 can be installed without a key and activated at a later date (I assume the same for 8) so I guess you could just do the same with 10 if they don't issue new keys for the upgrade (did they do this in the past for say 7 to 8? I didn't upgrade). icow (15313)

1399712 2015-05-14 04:38:00 Assuming if you have 7 or 8 home premium the upgrade will also be to home only gary67 (56)
1399713 2015-05-18 02:15:00 Now this is interesting...
"Windows 10 Preview testers will get a free upgrade to final RTM version"
www.pcworld.com

I'm skeptical about that that though, a tweet is not really an official MS announcement .
Wouldnt it mean that anyone could get 10 for free, just by having installing preview version first ? Thats not the MS way.
:rolleyes:

1399714 2015-05-18 05:52:00 Probably the only way they'll get anyone to upgrade...

I'd say most people only just finally let go of XP, they aren't going to shift from Windows 7 any time soon...
