W10 Test questions

Do I need to have my current OS's (W7) product code to start dual booting or just Windows 10?

Will games work with the Windows 10 test?

Do I need to redownload all of my games to W10? 

What are the chances of rendering my computer useless from trying to dual-boot?

Basically, do not dual boot, just run it in a VM (Use something like VMware Player for free).

I think there will either be a code already in the ISO, no code needed, or one on one of the pages.

Yes.

If you don't back them up with the option in Steam.

From my experience, somewhat possible. I nearly screwed my netbook with the Windows 8.1 preview.

There's a key given with the ISO, I'm downloading it right now

I wouldn't dual boot because we still don't know how the W10 boot loader works quite yet,

Linux "nerd".  If I helped you please like my post and maybe add me as a friend :)  ^_^!
