1403033 2015-06-22 03:09:00 Next big question will be: what are the downgrade options ?

At the mo, you can still buy Win7 Pro PC's,a Win8 lic factory downgraded to Win7. We are still selling mainly Win7 Pro pc's & laptops, only had one customer specifically want Win8.
I'd be reluctant to roll out new Win10 PC's unless clients particular software has official support on Win10, in case some particular software's help desks just go we dont support installs on WIn10 & refuse system support (it happens)

Of course the answer is for Upgraded OS's, not new installs with a purchased W10 ( in what ever form) , that would be downgrade options - And we haven't gotten to that subject --- yet ! :)

1403035 2015-06-22 04:23:00 That's about rolling back.

1. What about if I need to reinstall the OS after one year from 29 July?

I thought I already answered this, the answer is yes, yes as in yes.

1403036 2015-06-22 04:26:00 Not really, :)

Just its a change to get an actual answer that makes any sense. Anyone only has to look at the Insider Program, and several other sites where Microsoft reps reply to questions. Many times the actual answer is either completely ignored or some other answer to something is given. Those other posts on the insider, it was clearly asked about the final release of Windows 10 on 29th July , and answers given were for the preview.

Negative comments ?? Well if its still not working and doing simple tasks that have active actions breaks it, then its still got bugs, that's what the feed back is for - advising of faults /bugs that are found so they can be fixed. If the start menu bug is still there on RTM, I know of several people who will have problems.

Good feedback about the quality of the answers

The Start Menu bugs will not be there on July 29

This is what happens in large software development projects, things come together at the end.

The comments/feedback should be directed into the Windows Feedback tool as that is how stuff is prioritised, not from forums

The comments/feedback should be directed into the Windows Feedback tool as that is how stuff is prioritized, not from forums oddly enough there's a few posts in the insider program stating the feedback tool is not working. Had this happen as well, went to place feedback about the start menu, and it just sat there for about 10 minutes trying and eventually failed, again tried the following day, same thing -- came up with some error ( sorry didn't write it down)--So gave up. :)

PS: Official build 10130.

A high percentage of the time, feed back is going to be negative, about something not working.

1403038 2015-06-22 14:06:00 Well for me you have answered the main question. Will I be able to download an do a clean install rather than an upgrade though nmercer? It's high time I did a new clean install of Win7 but am waiting for Win10 to hopefully do it but will probably not happen until around October. Let those early bugs get ironed out.

Yes

The early bugs are already ironed out. This version of Windows has been prereleased the earliest ever, with the Windows Insider program in January and the Technical Preview before it.

The wait for SP1 mentality went away 5-10 years ago

Not negative comments about bugs

Negative comments about Microsoft not knowing what it's doing, doesn't know the left hand from the right hand, what a mess, shambles etc

1403041 2015-06-22 14:14:00 Interesting that it looks like the lic/install key will be somehow tied to the MS Store. Is that a way of getting users to start using the MS Store ??

Not sure why is any surprise

Apple and Google have post-sale monetization from the Store and Search

And storing a key somewhere has nothing to do with forcing anyone to use the Store, the license key needs to go somewhere and it might as well be the cloud so you can't lose it.
