  1. So, am I right thinking I can't put the win10 upgrade on another comp?


    Edit: No I'm wrong. I somehow completely missed that one question in the faq when I was reading it earlier that actually answers this exact question;

    Will it? Will it really work? Time will tell but knowing Microsoft I've got a feeling come the end of the free upgrade period that it's going to be a bit more complicated than their activation servers simply "knowing" that your old windows 7/8 key was already upgraded and allowing windows 10 to activate.

    Trouble with loginname in Windows Mail App

    Hi there,

    I am using the Windows Mail App (from the Store) with an exchange account.

    The problem ist that I can type in email and password only.

    My loginname is NOT EQUAL to my email-address, so how can I specify the loginname?

    PS: using the loginname in the email-field is not possible.

    Trouble with loginname in Windows Mail App

    I'm sorry, but this can't be the sense of the app.

    I can't change my login name to my email address, because it's set by another company I am working for. So in this case the app is totally senseless and useless, is this right?

    Are there plans to change it back so that I can type in another login name?

    I must agree with you. Only time will tell but I don't believe the upgrade of a new (as in not upgraded previously) computer will be free after July 28, 2016 unless you contact Microsoft and they give you a unique Product Key to activate the new computer with. For one thing, when you upgrade to Windows 10 it is not the old Windows 7 license information that is being stored on the Microsoft activation server, it is the hardware ID generated by the hardware configuration of the computer.
