IDK....why?
I have to.Right now I am just not interested in moving to a new OS like Windows 10.
Nope.Am I wrong?
I have three family Laptops, all originally windows 7 OEM installations. They are currently running Windows 8.1 and Windows 10. I will be putting the OEMs back on all three and upgrading them all. (After making up to date images! lol)Hi
I'm still planning on reinstalling my Windows 8 install clean, and then updating for Free?
That's the way I understood it will work.

I'll wait until I know that the new build is solid but a few weeks after it goes live we should have a pretty good idea about it, especially since I'll still be testing at that time.

I keep thinking about the Windows 10 license being good "for the life of the device". If you have OEM systems, it would not make a difference to those, but if you have non-OEM systems, especially older, I wonder if you would loose your license if it were to fail. I would not want to turn a Retail Windows 8.1 license into an OEM tied to one system.I have three family Laptops, all originally windows 7 OEM installations.

Wondering exactly how this is going to work.
I found this interesting and it's gonna be one of the first things I try.
