    Independent Confusion


    The Independent ran a news item this morning on the pricing of W10. The following got my attention....

    "..... and business ....."...??? What business?

    My understanding is that if an organisation (small/medium business, education institution, charity.....) owns computers that run genuine W7, W8, W8.1 they will be as eligible as any other user to the free upgrade. Microsoft has made it very clear that the only versions that are not eligible for the free upgrade are all those preceding W7 and the Enterprise and RT versions from W7 onwards.

    If my understanding is incorrect could someone please enlighten me. My clients are all those mentioned above so I need to be absolutely clear and correct in my answer when asked this question.

    Why does Microsoft keep closing my daughter's account?

    Yes, I guess that's true. But a lot of people find it confusing that they have, say, a gmail address with one password that is also linked to a Microsoft account that has an independent password.

  3. Nokia Lumia 510 Ringer volume issue

    Hello Amruta_Jadhav

    Thanks for visiting the Answers forum.

    Currently, volume settings for music playback and ringtones are not mutually exclusive. Essentially, the volume control is controlling the volume settings for all aspects of the device, and select applications are not able to be independently controlled.

    I hope this helps clear some confusion.

    Cheers,

    They're referring to the Enterprise edition of WIn10 and not the Pro/Home.

    Thanks for confirming that my understanding is correct.

    One would have thought that a professional journalist could write in a manner that was not confusing.

    That piece is a classic example of lazy journalism. Awful piece.

    If your Pro version of Windows 7/8/8.1 is joined to a domain, you won't get the free upgrade automatically. I'm not sure if the free upgrade will work even if you use the ISO if you're joined. However, you could always unjoin, perform the upgrade, then re-join to the domain.

    We don't know what the license will say about this yet, since the terms have not yet been released.

    If you simply have Windows Home/Core/Standard or Pro running as a workgroup, then you should be eligible.

    That's still speculation as well, note the "likely to" and what not. The point is, we don't know for sure how this is going to work.

    Agreed..... ..... I am starting to think that a nice vacation on a sandy beach with blue skies and puffy white clouds would be a far more preferable way to spend the Summer....*Smile
