To current Windows 7 and 8 users, yes.

IIRC Microsoft never was going to give full W10 to testers when 10 is released.

IF YOU CLICKED THE LINK instead of just linking it. Maybe it would help you. But I guess why do research, just read headlines of a forum.

TV show Dexter taught me that people remember jerks. So maybe you will remember me and do some research.  ;)

So what about this post http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/390380-microsoft-will-give-you-windows-10-for-free-if-you-test-it/page-5and the part from the link you sent me

 

“Windows Insiders running the Windows 10 Insider Preview (Home and Pro editions) with their registered MSA connected to their PC will receive the final release build of Windows 10 starting on July 29th. This will come as just another flight. I’ve gotten a lot of questions from Windows Insiders about how this will work if they clean installed from ISO. As long as you are running an Insider Preview build and connected with the MSA you used to register, you will receive the Windows 10 final release build and remain activated. Once you have successfully installed this build and activated, you will also be able to clean install on that PC from final media if you want to start over fresh.”

Read the UPDATE: part. The part you quoted is before update.

Basically what Microsoft wanted to say was that people who have 7 or 8/8.1 can upgrade without uninstalling windows 10 TP, just update to the full version. Of course this caused a ton of confusion because people.

Why you use text colors? my dark theme doesn't like you......

http://www.winbeta.org/news/microsoft-clears-confusion-reaffirms-free-windows-10-insiders

 

They've cleared it up FINALLY 

 

 

 

Microsoft has reaffirmed that Windows Insiders who clean installed the Windows 10 Preview can upgrade and activate the Windows 10 RTM for free, regardless of whether they have a Windows 7 or Windows 8.1 license. This announcement was made on Friday, and on Saturday was silently changed to remove any mention of being activated unless you upgraded from Windows 7 or Windows 8.1. This caused confusion, but Gabe Aul has again reaffirmed that Insiders who clean installed the Windows 10 Preview will receive Windows 10 for free, and activated.
Now you may be wondering why Microsoft went ahead and confused the situation by changing the way the announcement was worded in the first place. Well, in short, they did it to cover their backside. Soon after the original announcement, a number of media outlets began posting stories such as "How to get Windows 10 for free". This is not what Microsoft wants, and continues to advertise Windows 10 as being free for Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 users only.
So in essence, Microsoft is turning a blind eye to Insiders looking for an activated, free copy of the Windows 10 RTM, however their public message will continue to be 'You need a valid Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 license to upgrade.' This is great news for those who installed the preview over their old Windows installs, so you will not need to downgrade before upgrading to Windows 10. Hooray!

Then switch to day theme.

 

Well, if you just use the default text colour it works just fine. But these dang teenagers and their stupid fancy colours and their hipster pants these days. I'll use the dark theme all I want because I AM AN INDEPENDENT WOMAN DANG-IT.
