This weekend, I’m getting an SSD for my MSI laptop, specially the Samsung 850 EVO msata 500gb and I want to start with Windows 10 on it right away. And I’m impatient and can’t wait until July 29th. The SSD is to be used in conjunction with a 750gb hdd for data and useless stuff….I’m a hoarder when it comes to data.
I’m aware that I must upgrade from Windows 8.1 to Windows 10, then I can do a fresh install of 10 after I do the upgrade and make a iso image but I’m trying to find out away to avoid that since I have ton of large programs like solidworks, autodesk suites, adobe suites, and games of course and I hate reinstalling everything.
So I really just have a few questions
If I do a fresh install of the 10 preview right now, then all my programs, will the preview receive an update to the RTM version of 10, or will I have to reinstall 8.1 and then do the upgrade from there?
Adding to that, I hear and read about some rumor that once I install the preview, I will have the RTM as a tester. Is this true and what does it mean? If it is true, once the RTM version comes out, can I opt out of being a tester and input my 8.1 key to be updated?
Pertaining to the license, will my current 8.1 license transfer to Windows 10, or will Microsoft give you a new license key? I guess sort of like trading in the 8.1 key for a 10 key.
With a month left, would you say it’s safe to install the current build? I had a previous build install as a partition before and everything work just fine besides my sd card slot, which I need for a 3d printer.
Anyway hope this make sense! I’m just trying to get some views on this and see if anyone else has made a permanent switch already before I do. Thanks to all that can help!
