Windows 10: Newegg Windows 10 price & release date

It's all good news we know now, instead of the day before *Smile

 

Will the rtm be released as well on July 29 or will it be earlier ?

 

Nobody knows, Groze. Microsoft hasn't announced an RTM date that I know of.

See this thread, Post 231: Windows 10 guess the RTM release date - $1000 prize - Page 24 - Windows 10 Forums

 

Thanks for that link, had no idea there might not be a rtm release. I still have some questions for windows 10 release now but I will post that in General forum most likely I won't be upgrading this system.

 

Well my laptop is Windows 7 but its a slower dual core Toshiba from 2010 and it will qualify for the free upgrade.

I guess my desktop is out of luck then. My desktop I want to keep as an older dual-boot XP/7 gaming machine and older programs but it has a Windows 7 Home Premium OEM key.

Asus M4A78T-E + Phenom II x4 965 CPU. I don't want to upgrade to 10 on this machine. I want to do a newer-ish build for 10. I was thinking a Z97 or Z87 or H97 board (whichever is the best deal) and a low end i5 cpu like i5 4430. But I guess I won't be able to transfer my Windows 7 OEM from the old desktop and install Win 10 on the new one and activate it like that and keep Win 7 on the old one? Not possible right?

I will have to buy my own new retail key?

 

Yes, you'll have to buy a new license for Windows for the new PC.

 

You can actually upgrade the windows 7 home premium oem to windows 10 but keeping the dual boot with xp might be an issue. I think it can be done but it is complicated.

The only catch is you can't replace your motherboard on that system unless it fails (but there is a debate on that issue).

 

Hmm, thanks for the replies. So far its looking like I am out of luck. I will upgrade on the laptop then, but it has no power to it. Its very sluggish. I guess I will have to fork out the $150 for a key, unless some local computer stores in my area sell OEM and give a discount if I buy hardware from them :\

 

"getting a "drive-by" cootie"

Wow, that almost hurt! *Smile

 

would expect it to be earlier as it always is

 

I have similar setup and W10 is not working any slower than 8.1, if nothing, Win 10 has even lower minimum requirements.

 

I'm glad it's the end of July instead of August.

There's nothing like a screenshot to capture moments in time.

 

Still not sure if it's going to be RTM or Retail at that date or just available to upgrade over internet and WU.

 

Thanks for the update Darryl*Smile!

That would make a good signature!

 

Yeah, I hear they got pinchers!
