kalel83 Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 I did so many installs of the Tech Preview over my Windows 8.1 install that the last time I installed the Tech Preview I was doing a clean install not an upgrade. I assumed I would have to reinstall 8.1 and then upgrade it. Yet it is the 29th and my install still says Activated. Do people that used the Tech preview and upgraded to the RTM build get to keep it activated for awhile? Or did one of my upgrades from 8.1 to 10 that happened several months ago trigger a conversion? Also, when you convert a windows 8 key to windows 10 do you use the old key? or do you get a new one? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raa Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 If you're using your Microsoft account, (and you have a valid 8.x license associated with it), it will carry into your Windows 10 load I believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

siah1214 Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 As long as you keep updating your builds, Insiders get 10 free forever. So that's nice. You'll just never have a "stable" version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian S. Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 I believe the gift to Windows Insiders is not having to roll back, enter a key, AND you get the Pro version free! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
