Windows 10

We got a similar deal and paid £15 a copy for W8 and so bought 4 at the time. I too would not spend mega money on an OS and hope that consideration is given by MS when they announce pricing for upgrades etc.

The days of paying hundards for a OS are gone now, thankfully. Wouldn't work in today's world if they want everyone to upgrade.

May have to give this a try on a VM once released

I'm going to be putting it onto a workstation to give it a go. This edition should be nearly complete I would think.

Hoping for a October 2015 release. Gives me an excuse to upgrade my 500gb SSD to 1tb with a fresh install.

I'm running on a 120GB at the moment. I think funds will stretch to a 250GB for the new version of windows. It doesn't seem to use any more space that Windows 7

Installing the new update now, direct links from MS insider hub are live.

Glaucus · 20 Jan 2015 at 13:33

where about? Don't see it in insider hub?

prescott28 · 20 Jan 2015 at 15:49

What new update? It still looks like the Caltech Preview? Isn't it better to wait for the Consumer Preview in case one cannot update to that?

Will have to check it tonight. Not been on the insider hub yet.

Can you upgrade to this consumer preview from windows 8? And if you do, can you update CP to RTM or retail?

prescott28 · 20 Jan 2015 at 15:55

I'm downloading the .iso now and the file-name is different. The old file-name had the build number in it - the latest was 9879. What I am getting now is apparently still the technical preview but no build number. I'll stick it on a spare machine and see.

I've never installed a preview version of Windows before - is it usually possible to eventually patch it to RTM levels or will I have to do a reinstall when the offical version is released?

Where from?

The Insider programme that provides an .iso link

In English?
I don't see anything in insider hub, or in w10 settings under updates.

prescott28 · 20 Jan 2015 at 16:23

Forget it! It's the original .iso being pushed out still - build 9841.

I'll wait for the next build now I think.

malachi · 20 Jan 2015 at 17:16

Actually just noticed the time and date.
