However this is not the case, as the system you're upgrading will still need a valid Windows 7 or 8/8.1 license to make use of the offer. When this news was first revealed by Microsoft's Gabriel Aul through Twitter yesterday, there was a little bit of confusion as to how the upgrade would work, with some people speculating that the free upgrade meant a free Windows 10 license. Historically major Windows updates have cost money, so by providing a free upgrade, Microsoft is saying thanks to those who spent the time testing beta versions of the OS. HP Win 7 圆4, Acer Win 8.1 圆4 HTPC, ASUS Win 8.Microsoft will give those who tested the next version of Windows through the Windows Insider program a free upgrade path to Windows 10 when the OS is released to manufacturing. 4xTP-Link Gigabit Powerline adapters (1 w/ wireless) Linksys N900 Dual Band Gigabit Router (Access Point) Other Info: -Cisco DPC3825 Docsis 3.0 Wireless Gateway Hard Drives: Boot Drive: 256GB Samsung M.2 PCIe SSD (2100MBps-R, 1200MBps-W)ĭata & Test Drives: 240GB Samsung 840 SSD, 2x120GB Samsung Evo SSD, PSU: EVGA G1 750 Watts 80 Plus Gold Certified Full ModularĬooling: Deepcool Classic Captain Liquid Pump, 360 Radiator w/ Double Helix Reservoir Keyboard: Armaggedon MKA-5R RGB Hornet Mech KB Graphics Card: ASUS ROG Strix GeForce® GTX 1070 Memory: Corsair Vengeance Pro Series 16GB (2x8GB) 2400Mhz System Manufacturer/Model Number: Badrobot Junk Systems, Inc. Thank you in advance for any information. Should I expect this drive to re-install win7 and require me to download 10 again also? That PC doesn't have a recovery partition and only required 4Gb for the recovery drive. What will happen if I want to re-install win10 after the free upgraded period ends? Will the upgrade still be available from somewhere as long as I have a hardware profile on an activation server? Or, maybe I have to do something different when creating the recovery drive? I'd really rather not get stuck with Win8 in the future.īTW, my PC at work was an upgrade from 7 to 10 and I made a recovery drive there also. I then had to download and install the free upgrade again. I later used the recovery drive to re-install windows but, it was windows 8 again. When creating the recovery drive it asked for a 32Gb USB drive which I provided and it seemed to work fine. After I upgraded to Win10, I made a recovery drive. Sorry if this has been asked already.Īnyway, I have an HP laptop that came with windows 8 and has a ~20Gb recovery partition that re-installs Win8 and all the bundled software. This is my first time here and couldn't find an answer after a few minutes of searching.
