Anyone know how long we have to install 10 after it is downloaded? Can we not install it for a year or 2 and then put it in when we are selling the equipment? I will not install it now as I need Windows Media Center on 3 machines.

Well the 'free' offer lasts for one year so I guess you've got at least that long but still I wouldn't leave it too long in any case.

Thanks. I guess I'll just let the three live on Windows 7 as it works perfectly for my needs and 10 won't. Maybe I'll give it a try on my main system but it also does all I need perfectly. It's like a good marriage, you don't go screw it up for no good reason.

Indeed.. :) If it ain't broke don't fix it also comes to mind. We never close threads so if you encounter any issues in the future simply post back.
