Windows 10: Possible to install W10 preview as upgrade now?

I have more time on my hands now than what I will when W10 is officially released later this month. So, I wondered if it were possible to install the latest W10 preview as upgrade to W7-64bit now, then when W10 is released, just do an update with the proper W10 product key number?

Naturally, I'd protect all my W7 data first then install W10. Just curious if this were possible.

Build 10049 - Not Detecting New Builds

Hey John,

Regarding Andre's post, so is it technically impossible right now for anyone running older preview builds to upgrade to 10240?

Anyway, W10 gets released today. Is there a possibility of any problems to occur for those running older Insider Preview builds?

Thanks,

Justin

 

What will hapen with files and programs on my Pc, after i will upgrade to Windows 10?

Hi Jim,

W10 Pro Insider Preview is presently installed in my C drive. When I upgraded from 8.1 to W10 Pro Insider Preview I didn't see any option as to which drive to install it nor any request for my 8.0 Product Key.

How do I install W10 Pro Insider Preview on my new unused SDD without the install dragging some things from my 8.1? In other words, I want no chance of any remnants of prior OS's on my new SSD (no settings, passwords, subscriptions, preferences etc..).

 

sure just join Windows insiders and download the lastest ISO and c hoose slow ring or fast ring test build 10162 is currently avail for downloading it'ws decent . If you select Fast ring in uopdate sdvanced setings it will update to the new Fast ring biuld .

 

To get the free Win10 upgrade on a computer one has to be running/logged into Win7 w/SP1 or Win8.1, not Win10 TP. Upgrading now may not get the all same as what the RTM version has, still lots of time available for changes to be made.

 

Sound like waiting is best! Thanks.
