What it is that Microsoft thinks I am to stupid to realize that this is simply Win 8.1 with the interface changed a little bit and user control totally removed. I will wait until other people try this upgrade and see what kind of mess this will be when dual booting etc. |

Explain why you think Windows 10 will be messy to dual boot. Whats bad is not the dual booting its the not free update.If you update an os that You paid money for it is my understanding that this key will not work anymore on the os that you upgraded. That is really not my idea of free,but simply an OEM version of windows 10. Free would be if I could install it on another computer.Microsoft would never give it away for free because they are simply to greedy. their version of free is to lock you in,and take all control from the user. I am an insider and have used every version that was available so far. I have dual booted most of the windows 10 version and its not hard to do on a legacy motherboard. But I do not know if I have the stomach to give up all that freedom for a souped up version of windows 8.1. I ran widows 98 and never did an update, and now they want auto update. That is so they can constantly invade my privacy. This will probably not bother a lot of users but it is very tough for me to accept. |

I beta tested it for a while and never used the social buttons, so with a few tweaks, removed them and basically had a conventional xp,Vista,Win 7 desktop. As for Belarc - good program but MAYBE there is not an "official code" for Win10 yet so MAYBE in beta testing they still use the "last known code " which Belarc still sees as 8.1 ( which was 7 WITHOUT the social interface) --- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. https://www.avast.com/antivirus |

Please try another program, such as Speccy from Piriform (www.piriform.com/speccy), which in its most current form supports Windows 10. It shows the proper OS name and build number in its report, using both the RTM version released on July 29th as well as Insider preview/beta builds released since then. -- //Steve// |
