  1. Should I download win10 and burn an iso to DVD?


    I did that with 8.1 pro and successfully restored a broken install, booted dvd and repaired the pc.

    Then I upgraded to windows 10 using the media tool and it is working fine.
    But I do not have an iso of win10 burnt to a dvd.

    Will I need a win10 dvd?
    Should I do this now before the free upgrade grace period ends in a year?
    What is best way to do this, do you have a link?
    I also did download a win10 iso, but not sure what to do with it, outside of the media tool, can I just use software to burn that iso to dvd?

    What do you think?

    :)

    Will I be able to download and burn an iso Windows 10?

    I wonder if you could do that without actually upgrading the existing machine first...such as swapping out the existing Win7 HD for a new, blank one to install Win10.
     
  3. Will I be able to download and burn an iso Windows 10?

    I have multiple computers, do I have to download Windows 10 on each computer?


    You can download a .ISO file and upgrade each computer offline. The ISO should be available by the time Windows 10 launches.

    How
    to: upgrade from previous versions of Windows using Windows 10 ISO file


    Please note, you might have to download the appropriate edition of Windows 10 for the version/edition of Windows you are upgrading. If you upgrade to the wrong edition, ie. Windows 7 Home Premium to Windows 10 Pro, you will have to purchase a license
    for Windows 10 Pro or
    go back
    to Windows 7 Home Premium and upgrade to Windows 10 Home.


    What
    are the editions of Windows 10 available?


    Will I get a product key, can I get a product key?

    By default, Windows 10 builds are pre-keyed, meaning, you do not have to enter a product key and should not be prompted to enter one even after Windows 10 has completed setup.

    How to troubleshoot Product Activation in Windows 10

    Microsoft tells me that it will be possible to do so. And that a key part of this process is that it will save a product key tied to the previously upgraded PC or device in Windows Store. This is how Windows 10 will later know that the install is allowed:
    It’s “one of the benefits of the new delivery system,” a Microsoft representative told me.

    Yes you can burn this to DVD with any burning software.
     
  7. Since win 10 is activated, having the DVD install, I could do a clean install if say the drive crashed and it needed another hard drive.
    Or lets say the MB fried, could I then do a clean install of win10 on another PC using the 8.1 key I used to install 8.1 pro, and MS would activate the new PC?
