Windows 10: Upcoming changes to Windows 10 Insider Preview builds

Does it support file/folder backups?

 

Macrium has saved my butt more than a few times. Amazing what you can do with it. Don't forget to do a new Rescue DVD. And put a new PE environment in your boot.

 

YES, paid version. But (IMO), it is a true bargain. Look around on the net and you'll find a "coupon" code and u can get full paid for ~$54.99. Macrium Reflect Free

 

I recently bought a NAS. Currently I use Uranium Backup Free, which isn't bad.

 

I already did that(for the first time ever). For people like me who have never used it... in the recovery environment it's under "Choose another Operating System".

 

Should also be on your Boot Menu. And listed in MSCONFIG.

 

This is great news for Insiders.

Anyone know what will happen if the preview is installed on two different laptops and using the same MS account?

Will each get the release on 29th July or just one?

 

Thank's for the info...

BunnyJ, what do you mean by your last statement? My understanding is we will have to use the Product Key, in my case, from Win 8 to activate the July 29th version of Win 10.

So we will only have 1 active version running at a time, right?

Also, others have commented to my post and confirmed what I need to do when it's time.

Lastly, a tutorial on what to do for the 29th could be helpful if there isn't one already. Just a thought.

Did you read what was posted in the first post?

 

Allegedly, it will be possible to use the Windows 10 Free Upgrade and the Product Key, (from which the upgrade was verified), on another machine, (possibly another partition?), simultaneously but, you will need to contact MS Support to have the Product Key re-activated for the previous version.

 

Sounds good to me, Alpha. If we want to continue testing, we have to play by the rules Microsoft sets out. Sometimes we may not like it, but that's the way it is. It's really quite simple.

This paragraph gives us the rules for continuing as an Insider:

The paragraph below gives us the exceptions to the rules:

 

I surely hope so, Muranb! Because I have it installed on this desktop and three laptops! I'm pretty sure they should all update.

 

Greg, go back and read the complete text of Shawn's post (#1) in this thread.

 

DavidY,
If that really the case, unless someone has a bunch of windows 7/8.1 home or pro disks people wouldn't upgrade to windows 10. With the retail version of windows 7/8.1 you are allowed to transfer to another computer. You have to remove if possible from one computer and put it on the new computer. You might have to call Microsoft and tell them you moved it. That why retail version cost more.
