    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?

    I know an upgrade install worked over my copy of W8.1 Pro, so I assume you should be able to do the same with W10.

  10. Nothing to upgrade; as has been previously stated that's really just a repair install.

    My idea worked. Had a few issues with sfc and windows genuine validation but it eventually validated. I might do a tutorial haven't decided and submit it to Brink it might be better over at the pchelpforum forums it requires Linux and well as windows tools it could work without but I am not sure. Anybody here that a good writer and good with grammar. My grammar is not that great.
