  1. Fresh install or Upgrade to 10? [Question]


    Ok, I have read enough articles, many posts here on reddit and have some advices from friends. All are equally split between "just upgrade to 10 already, it's not as it was in the past. Just upgrade from within 7" and "of course you will go to a fresh clean install at some point. Just go with it from the start".

    Secondly, let me tell you that my PC has an SSD with windows and main programs in it. Then a second Hdd with some other programs and other games (main steam library, etc) and a 3rd HDD with any my documents file, images, music, some anime, etc...

    If you say that I should do a fresh install, how I am supposed to do so?

    So, what is your opinions - advice??

  2. Windows 10 Upgrade Questions and Concerns

    I have a dell laptop that is running Windows 7 Pro and looking into upgrading it to Windows 7 but have a few questions for the method that I am looking into upgrading it.

    So I want to install a fresh version of Windows 10 on to it using a download from MSDN and have the following questions:

    • DELL OEM Laptop License Windows 7 Pro
      • Can I use the Windows 7 OEM license to activate Windows 10 using a fresh image install?
    • Upgrade Roll Back
      • Is it possible to reinstall Windows 7 fresh and use the OEM license later after installing Windows 10?
    • Specific Windows 10
      • For the fresh install Windows 10 image it would obviously require the corresponding Windows 10 Pro image correct?
    • Windows 10 free upgrade end date
      • What is the Windows 10 free upgrade end date for someone in my situation of fresh Windows 10 install using Windows 7 OEM license?
    • Is there anything else I need to consider for upgrading to Windows 10 fresh using a Windows 10 image and not through the free upgrade windows update?
