Re: [Update] Windows 10 Discussion
 

Already been posted a few hours ago. ;)

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.

Re: [Update] Windows 10 Discussion
 

I just tried this on my laptop and it didn't accept my win 8.1 key.

Re: [Update] Windows 10 Discussion
 

Thanks for letting us know.

Just turned on my PC and no update is being offered to me yet for insiders.

What is the latest version number and how do i find it on Windows 10 as i forgot? :)

Re: [Update] Windows 10 Discussion
 

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)

Re: [Update] Windows 10 Discussion
 

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.

well the windows icon has vanished but windows update isnt giving me an option to do an update.

Re: [Update] Windows 10 Discussion
 

To find the versiom, press the windows key + r, then in the run command type winver, press Enter and it comes up with the build info.

Re: [Update] Windows 10 Discussion
 

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:confused:? Has anyone upgraded to 10 and wished they hadn't. Finally is it reversible?

On Windows 10 insider preview in build 10240 does the expire date appear after 29th July?

Re: [Update] Windows 10 Discussion
 

10240 is final build so no expiry date

Re: [Update] Windows 10 Discussion
 

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?
