  2. Need help to upgrade technical preview to final version or downgrade to previous build Technical preview upgrade help :(

    Thought your post stated that you could not go back to Windows 7 from build 10041. If you can reinstall windows 7 and make sure it is activated, you can upgrade to W10 for free from W7.

    But you cannot upgrade from insider/preview build 10041 to free windows 10 rtm build. The installation for windows 10 can be completed but you will not be able to activate it. All free upgrades must come from activated windows 7 or 8.1 to get Windows 10
    activation.

    This Microsoft site gives all possible ways to activate Windows 10

  3. Need help to upgrade technical preview to final version or downgrade to previous build Technical preview upgrade help :(

    Hey guys, having some Trouble with the tech preview build 10041.

    The popup with the consistent restarts came up and wants me to update to win10 final Version.

    I tried it but at there was a error message after 2h. in that said it Fails to check if there is enough space to install,but there should be?

    (set the System back to the state when my brother bought it before trying,he told me he had win 7 but it still loaded tech prev build) so almost nothing is installed on the System, what Kind of space it checks?

    the Problem is that ist restarts every couple of hours so its hard to get the upgrade going besides the Problem that it failed to check for space.

    i m scared of the day it shuts completly down and wont start anymore which will happen i red if i dont upgrade the tech build so even a downgrade back to 7 or 8 is fine but Keep in mind i set it already back to the state how it was bought so idk if thats an
    Option anymore.

    Pls guys any fix to the failed to check for space issue or an easy guide to set it back to prev Versions?

    sorry for my english i am not that expericend with pc Systems.

    Greetings Matthias

    Build 9926 is months old, how long have you been running it? You should be on Build 10240 by now (RTM build) if you've been an Insider for any length of time.

    Go here:

    Windows 10

    If 9926 wasn't installed as an upgrade over Win 7 or 8.1, I'm not sure that the build in the link (10240) will activate.

    If you've only just installed it it won't activate. The Insider program is closed and activation of Insider builds has been suspended.
