Windows 10 preview question

[jackw]

Quick question,

If I download the Windows 10 Technical Preview (part of the Microsoft Insider Program) will I be able to upgrade to the final Windows 10 version from the Technical Preview?

Thanks

Yes you will, that's a thing since not that long ago.

Pretty sure if you upgrade from the preview you must stay signed into your MS account at all times (it must be linked to your login account) and your stay on the preview ring meaning you are constantly getting Pre release code.

Don't think you can actually get free retail from the preview.

No. But like all OS upgrades, backup your stuff if things goes wrong.

Be sure to uninstall your anti-virus, and any other security software (and reboot after), before starting the upgrade process, the case they think an attack is taking place and blocks it, and you end up with a mess that you cannot recover from.

I just heard from local tech store assistent because Win 10 is free the goona charge for stuff like drivers and so I googled it in German and English and didn't fird anything about it and he said I got from a tech newspaper.

 

I can't really belive it but I just wanna check if anybody else heard of this or if I just got really bad information from this guy.

Well first of all, Microsoft does charge for driver signature. So they are already charging that.

As for you the end consumer, you won't pay anything, like you didn't in Vista day, Windows 7 days, and Windows 8 days.

Driver signature is a prevent anyone from doing drivers, and those who do, needs to be approved by Microsoft.

The reason for this, is that a popular (like really) attack on a system back in XP days, was building a driver to by pass account restrictions, and allowed for much easier development of key loggers with also high accuracy.

Ah okay thanks than the store assitent did some kind of shit talk because he told it like the end user has to pay for the driver.
