lol51312 Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 No product key is required to install this Windows 8 RTM edition but you'll need to activate it within 10 days after installing it in your system. If you fail to activate Windows within 10-day grace period, or if your evaluation period expires, the desktop background will turn black, you will see a persistent desktop notification indicating that the system is not genuine, and the PC will shut down every hour losing unsaved work.

Azies Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 Yeah I know, there was a thread earlier posted about it, however I'm curious if I can dual boot it with Windows 7 like I did with the Consumer Preview and the Release Preview. lol51312 1 Share Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/1099077-download-90-day-trial-version-of-windows-8-rtm-absolutely-free/#findComment-595096879 Share on other sites More sharing options...
xendrome Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 It is some surprise that a "Trial" is Free? If you were paying for it, it wouldn't be a trial...

Noir Angel Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 In short: Use it, just not as primary OS unless you're prepared to format in 3 months time. Personally i'd just wait until general release, should be more driver and software compatibility updates to make the transition smoother.

Growled Member Posted August 17, 2012 Member Share Posted August 17, 2012 Hmm, might be good to kick the tires and check out the new paint job.

Robbie Ride Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 It looks like this is the Enterprise version, has Windows 8 Pro been released as an Eval edition?

+Nik Louch Subscriber² Posted August 17, 2012 Subscriber² Share Posted August 17, 2012 It is some surprise that a "Trial" is Free? If you were paying for it, it wouldn't be a trial... Not always. Some apps offer "cheap" trials before purchasing the full version (often with the trial price knocked off). Also GT: Prologue ;) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/1099077-download-90-day-trial-version-of-windows-8-rtm-absolutely-free/#findComment-595098535 Share on other sites More sharing options...
