Also have 10240 on my relatively old HP 8440p, all devices working fine.

Mmm mine looks like its installed a full retail, non-expiring copy, there is no build number and no mention of the insiders program.

Thanks, I was out at five this morning having fun (before the rain), doubt you have had any.
True there is more to life, however, in case you needed reminding this is a W10 thread.

My sincere apologies if that came over as a bit rude. Personally, I am one of those with Windows XP on one machine and Windows 7 on another (having only just recently installed it). As a computer "veteran" (although definitely not in the Vanguard) I am of course interested in the new Windows 10, if it takes computing to a new level. I was just a little concerned that the discussion here appeared to become a little polarised

It is good to have a lively open debate.

Now that I have a fully legit copy of Win 7 installed I want to know when I am going to get the offer of Win 10.

Well, it is free, isn't it? And I am entitled!

Could be Microsoft making good on their commitment that Insiders who use their registered email address to install Windows 10 preview will get the pucka version for £0.

I installed 10166 from ISO then upgraded to 10240 but I wasn't sure if it was activating using a legit Windows 7 key from the HP laptop BIOS or whether I was getting it as an Insider.

managed to make an iso of the latest d/load , had to use an old iso download , and remove/replace folders with the new ones , just loaded it on a spare drive.


and for people (who understand this) the "toolkit" works on win 10

Handy to know for my NUC HTPC

ok ISO,s burn as bootable , that's good news,


however cd/dvd roms are quite often not fitted on modern machines , I wonder why M/soft did not include the option of burning to pendrives.


"Handy to know for my NUC HTPC "


umm , not sure if that was sarcastic ? , why not just burn (with rufus) to a pendrive ?


quick question to you or others , how do you format a M.2 card (64g) to ext4 , without any "caddies" or adaptors


I,ve done it , but possably a long way around
