Windows 10 License questions on Asus Transformer Book T100

[iComfy]

So I have upgraded and installed Windows 10 Insider Preview on my Asus Transformer Book T100 Tablet.

I have installed it as a windows update from Windows 8.1 with an OEM License.
When I go to Computer Properties i still see the OEM Key and it is "Activated"

Will I be able to get the final version for free? or did this invalidate my OEM license and need to repurchase?

No, you should get windows 10 as a free updae when it comes out.

You will need to have an activated version of windows 7, 8 or 8.1 installed to be eligible for the free upgrade. It says its activated because you are running the Preview version. As soon as windows 10 actually come out, the preview will go back to the trial version.

July 29th is when windows 10 comes out. As long as you bought windows 7,8,8.1 and registered for the windows 10 update it will be here by then.

Well I was using an Activated version of Windows 8.1 and I upgraded it using Windows Update for the Insider Preview.

I should be fine right?

Yeah. You will need to install Windows 8.1 before upgrading to the full windows 10. As far as I know, Microsoft isn't going to give windows to everyone. Only to the people who have bought a previous version of windows.

I heard today that you may be able to go from the Technical Preview to released version. It was in an article from ZDnet but didn't come from MS themsleves.
