    Reserve upgrade question


    I'm running Windows 7 and am trying to upgrade to win10. I have reserved my copy and have chosen to install with the 'delete everything' option (something like that) in the setup. I'm afraid I won't have it permanently, as the word 'upgrade' is always used. Is this still considered an upgrade? Is it possible to lose my reservation?

    :)

    Installing Windows 10 onto a separate drive?

    Followup question, my reserve this device/upgrade to windows 10 button is missing, do I need to reserve it again since I reinstalled Windows?

    The postponement for windows 10 upgrade

    Dear all,

    I have a few question about upgrade for windows 10. When I reserve upgrade for window 10, Can I postpone this upgrade in the next month or a year later while I still have reserved window 10 status. For next thing, Can MyPC still be upgrade later when I cancel
    the reservation for window 10 ?

    Thank in advance.

    Make sure that you upgrade before you do a clean install, otherwise you may not be able to activate your Windows 10 installation.

    If I reinstall my windows 7, will I still have the permanent reserve? What is it saved on?

    There is no such thing as a permanent reserve. Windows 10 is only free if you upgrade by July 29th, 2016.

    This tutorial will help you make an install media for ten. https://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/1...n-install.html After you upgrade make sure that you are activated on windows 10. Then make a install disk or usb stick. Then you can roll back to your previous windows. Your activation key will always be on that machine so you can install 10 whenever you like. That's the way I read the info we are getting. ymmv
