    I have Windows 7 Home Premium x64 on my Laptop, and 8.1 x64 on our desktop. Any tips on what I should do? I don't have a USB drive or a backup CD. Should I not install it?

    Windows Technical Preview

    Good Day! Will I have a free upgrade when I am using currently the Tech preview? Or does it have to be 8.1 or 7? (Using Tech Preview as day to day OS , Uninstalled 8.1)

    When Windows 10 is released officially, Will Windows Tech Preview end?

    Preview Build 10130

    If you install it and you do not like it you do not have a way to go back to what you have. You can also install it with a USB memory stick 4 GB or larger. You can also do an in place install but a fast internet connection is desired. Some of our members had several hours downloading the ISO as it is almost 4 GB. But without a backup of your present system I would not install W10.

  6. I think I will like it. It's just so risky. It scares me.

    You also cannot install it with a CD it takes a DVD.

    Should I install it on the 8.1 desktop, since its the newest? I canceled the installation on my Windows 7 laptop.

    Do you have a way to restore the desktop in case the install does not work? If not I would not install W10 as it is beta software. The factory restore partition will not work once you install W10 on the desktop.

  10. I don't have a DVD or USB to reset. But, it has a reset feature.

    That is what I am trying to tell you it will break that reset feature that is why you need another way to reset it.

    Not install W10. The best way to do this is to install W10 on a spare drive that way you have a way to go back to what you have now is just install the drive back.

    You may want to use a virtual machine instead of wiping out one of your other OS's.

    This will show you how, it's for windows 8 but it will work for the tech preview as well,

    VMware Player - Install Windows 8

  15. I think I am just going to wait on this one. Do yall think 10 will be free for 8.1 users? Free for 7 users? I don't know. But, it's possible since they offered the Tech Preview for it. But, do yall think it will be free for 8.1 users is my main question?
