    Steph !

    UK is not authorize to download anything from the net anymore.

    The Gov. just past a law restricting any net activity as per the
    instructions of the MPAA.

    Hi there

    Politics aside - the UK is by no means the worst - I believe France has even more restrictions and don't they have some stupid rule that TV channels can't show films on Saturdays or some nonsense like that.

    In any case anybody can get anything by using the TOR network. (And TOR is 100% legal folks !!!!!).

    Let's just enjoy W10 download when we can get it and if any hard pressed UK user can't download I suppose some well wisher could always create an ISO for our poor UK user and send using "Snail Mail". !!!!

    Cheers

    Maybe I should've inserted a sarcasm emo.

    And I don't know where you got that idea,
    as I have good friends in France and they do have movies
    on any day of the week. (been there).

    If someone can't get a download and I can, I could upload the ISO
    to a cloud based storage for them to download.

    Hi there

    I'm sure I read somewhere about that TV restriction -- anyway I actually LIKE France !!!!! been there many times and worked there on a few gigs too. That 35 hr week should be copied elsewhere -- I remember on one gig in L.A where one was expected to work sometimes 60 or 70 hours --I'm much too old for that anymore.

    Cheers

    Considering you have to sign up for the insider program to even be allowed to download the software, I don't think anybody will accidentally be confused and think this is the final version.

  9. That's what you would expect

    But I have seen the same for the Windows Phone DP, where you have to sign up for it, then install an app on your phone to activate the downloads
    people complain about bugs in that as though it is final

    time will tell, but I hope you are right

    So, with my naivety hat firmly on, is the download freely available or only to MS Insiders (or whatever program it is you have to be enrolled in)? I have a free day tomorrow so would love to set up a VM to give 10 a whirl.

    EDIT: Nevermind, I'm now an insider with the Tech Preview ISO downloading. *Party

  12. I have the ISO on a usb drive. *Smile

    I have some questions---

    1--- If I install Windows 10 can I use my Macrium image to restore back to 8.1 ?

    2--- Will installing 10 wipe out installed programs & personal files & folders ?

    3--- Could one dual boot the 2 ?

    4--- I may pose more questions in the future.

    Thank you. *Smile

    I have not yet tried dual booting, but regarding the Macrium image. If you could restore your system to a clean hard drive with that image, I see no reason you would not still be able to do that. I did see a note about not being able to use the Recovery options after an install.

    Questions about exactly what will happen may need explanations as to how you intend to install. Such things as will both installs be UEFI, will 10 be on the same or another hard drive, etc...

    I am sure someone will be installing as a Dual boot soon, and I might a little later, but is should work exactly as 8.1 did.

  15. I think that refers to the recovery drive from the factory. *Think
