    Two SSDs with Windows 8.1 and Build 10240. Upgrade path?


    I have a dual boot system with two SSDs, with Windows 8.1 on one and Build 10240 on the other.

    At this stage I am confused by all the Microsoft posts about upgrading.

    Will I be able to upgrade to the new Build on the 29th on my Build 10240 (which is Activated and has the Fast/Slow options available)? I intend remaining on the Insider Programme.

    If not, will I be able to upgrade on the 8.1? Will I then be able to clean install the new Build but on the other SSD?

    :)

    Insider preview 10240 is RTM

    from win 8.1 upgraded to insider preview build 10130 and upgraded to new build 10240.

    activated permanently and licencee to Retail channel. no expire date on this build 10240 RTM

    I am from Insider preview (upgraded from windows 8.1), does my windows 8.1 considered upgraded?

    two of my computers got the same generic key, ending with 3V66T...i heard also other people with the same key.

    can i clean install windows 10 RTM without key and it will it be activated automatically?

  3. Winbook TW802 (Kingston S10032) running 8.1, Upgrade question

    Thank you, Wungraileng Vashi, for taking the time to help me, and many others, affected with this problem.

    I'm willing to provide actual pictures, screenshots, or files if I am able to access them to help you.

    I'm sure I can safely say, the owners of the same tablet models would love to enjoy Windows 10 like I am, on the WinBook TW802

    .

    The link immediately below is from Microcenter's online tech support forum. I copy pasted the post here for your convenience. I removed internal forum links to avoid confusion. Please focus on
    WinBook TW802 (I copied the whole post since it provides information important to the second bold question in my original post here on build 10240)



    As you can see, there is reason for me to be extremely cautious about letting Windows Update install build 10586
    to our second TW802 (from 8.1 to Windows 10 build 10586).

    All of the upgrade processes require a minimum of 14GB of free space. If additional space is required, Setup will /prompt for a USB drive or SD card to cache the upgrade files. This drive is no longer required after the process is complete.

    b. Upgrading from Windows 8.1 to Windows 10 build 10586 passes testing and is supported.

    c. Upgrading from Windows 10 build 10240 to Windows 10 build 10586 passes testing and is supported.

    **WinBook TW800**

    a. The TW800 does not upgrade to any build of Windows 10. The TW800 will revert to previous OS when the upgrade fails.

    **WinBook TW801**

    a. Upgrading from Windows 8.1 to Windows 10 build 10240 passes testing and is supported.

    b. Upgrading from Windows 8.1 to Windows 10 build 10586 passes testing and is supported.

    b. Upgrading from Windows 8.1 to Windows 10 build 10586 will either revert back to Windows 8.1, or it will display We'll be ready soon - Don't turn off your PC and not proceed any further, or stops responding at or around 45% completion of the Installing Windows
    phase and then reverts back to the previous OS after rebooting the tablet.

    c. Upgrading from Windows 10 build 10240 to Windows 10 build 10586, the process stops responding during the We'll be ready soon - Don't turn off your PC phase and the tablet will not revert to Windows 8.1. After this occurs, the only solution is for service
    to reinstall the factory master image.

    **WinBook TW700**

    a. Upgrading from Windows 8.1 to Windows 10 build 10240 passes testing and is supported.

    Two SSDs with Windows 8.1 and Build 10240. Upgrade path?

    It's my understanding that to get the free upgrade to Win10 one has to be logged into Win7 w/SP1 or Win8.1. I haven't dual-booted with Win10, have separate hardware, so can't respond as to whether Insiders will get the upgrade over the Win10 now running. Won't want it on my current machine [originally came with Vista] as I have a better one with Win7 w/SP1 set aside for Win10 which will be put into service tomorrow evening.
