Will win10 TP upgrade to license copy
Not sure if I've seen this question. Will any of these TP or even one of mine turned to TH1 (whatever that is), will
they upgrade or be upgradable to a full activated copy? or all of them dead in October? |

It ISN'T!! Since I haven't opted out of the Insider Previews, it looks like I'm still running a preview. That article explains a lot. Thanks for the link! -- SC Tom |

I would think the Insider program would travel in a parallel universe. To stay alive past October, you had to sign up for the Insider program, with a Microsoft Account, some weeks ago. Once the details of this were revealed, new sign ups were disabled, so that millions of people would not built new computers and load them up with "Insider". An activation record exists at Microsoft, for your Insider OS. But, would that activation record be sufficient to automatically activate an RTM install on the same machine ? Probably not, as they need you to stay in the parallel universe and test new OS previews for them. It would be a nuisance to have to blow away your RTM a week from now, with another 3.5GB download. The Insider program OS is still activated. And it still works as an OS. It just receives a different stream of updates. It receives more alpha material when you least expect it. You test stuff before the Win10 Home people test stuff. If you're not signed up for Insider, then your copy should start to malfunction in October or whatever the malfunction rules are. I just squeaked under the wire for Insider. I had a dual boot Win10 TP setup (and not registered as Insider). When I heard about the plan to keep Insider copies running, I booted the 10074 OS on my machine, and registered for Insider there. Rather than try it from 10162 or whatever. And so far, that seems to have worked. I was surprised 10074 would still boot, but it did. Today, my boot menu looks like this. Both copies use an MSA and are part of the Insider program. The bottom one should die some day (for not receiving updates when it should). The bottom one never really served any purpose, except to test that Win10 could handle dual boot OK. Win10 (10240) Win10 (10074) HTH, Paul |
