Activate windows 10 Inside Preview with final release.
I have been testing win 10 on a dedicates ssd on my desktop for the last
few months. With release of Build 10074 I have made it now my main desktop operating system on my home computer. It is solid and stable enough for my personal use. I do not use Cortana or Spartan. I am very comfortable with Firefox. I am using my old pre-win 8 favourite desktop programs as default. There are only 4 tablet programs that I use 1) Weather 2) News 3) Money and 4) Xe currency exchange. When the final win 10 is released will I just use win 8 key to activate my installation? I bought the key from Microsoft for 40 dollar introductory offer for windows 8 HS |

And, there is no technical reason why they would do this. They just do. -T |

Additionally, the upgrade path is via WU. MSFT has yet to commit that existing Win10 Preview will be upgraded to Win 10 RTM nor by use of an existing earlier o/s i.e. 8 key. -- ...winston msft mvp consumer apps |

I'm hoping they could see me, on the new Win10 menu, avoiding the usage of the Start menu, and navigating to Program Files folder and running the .exe from there directly. One can only hope... :-) Paul |
