Windows 10: Clarified:the free upgrade offer to Win 10 is ending July 29th, really

As mentioned, your link refers to the Enterprise edition. The only licensing option for Enterprise is Volume Licensing (subscription). Also, Pro can be upgraded to Enterprise with a simple change key. No install media needed. All the enterprise features are there, just not enabled. Your activation switches to VL when you do the upgrade.

 

@COMPUTIAC
Bob,, you need to read more than one post and jump down my neck about something next time.

My post was intended to show how someone could get a copy of Linux without having internet access for a new build.

 

This should have been mentioned in the post then as an alternative to the free download.
Its always better to point out a choice between both.

 

How do you get to the link to get the pre-burned DVD if you don't have internet access? Just curious.

 

The library. You can order an entire PC and not have to have access to the internet at home.

Or if you have bandwidth limitations, like some here, it might be better to order the DVD's than download them.

 

It would be best if you followed the flow of the discussion next time. The subject came up via one member saying that you need to have/purchase a copy of Windows first to get a copy of Linux and my post was to show that you can get a copy pre burned onto a DVD for a small fee.. just like you can purchase a copy of Windows on a DVD/USB flash drive.

 

I was following the conversation and knew exactly what you meant. *Wink

One option is to order it on your smart phone.

 

It's amazing that my distrust in large companies can turn a whole thread into a Linux thread.

 

*Wink.. It can be a nice break from all things windows.

 

It happens now and then. The alternatives to Windows are limited. There's Apple but that's pricy, and it has its own set of pitfalls. Go open source and there isn't much out there other than Linux. I run it on my Raspberry PI, but only because I have to. If I could run a full version of Windows on it I would, even if I had to pay for it. Windows 10 IoT just doesn't do what I want. IMHO, a lot of these "I'm switching to Linux" are just idle threats.

 

There is always Remix OS, free and easy to use.

You got that right. Just check out my Raspberry Pi thread lol.

 

I might get one some day. It reminds me of the old Heath Kit days.

 

It's been, fun, frustration, fun, frustration, wash rinse and repeat lol. I've learned a lot along the way though, about Linux and Python, and this and that. I don't think I'll ever get tired of playing around with it. Well them I guess, last count I had 5 different model Pi's on hand. And a couple I had, have found a new home. *Biggrin

 

A few years ago I abandoned Windows and only used Mandrake Linux. Windows 7 brought me back to MS. I do play around with Linux Mint in the free version of VMware. There are a few things I don't like about MS and Widows 10 but not enough for me to switch back to Linux as my main OS. With all the pluses and minuses I'll stay with Windows 10 as my daily OS. *Smile
