Windows 10, anyone?

Did you google everything I said to check and see where you could shitpost me and make it look like something important?
Fun fact: All the information provided wasn't googled. Most of it was written by me on the basis of prior knowledge. Only some of the technical stuff I found and provided were written in popular articles I enjoy reading about to keep me up-to-date on Win10 as well. Easier to relay extra info like that rather than post a confusing summary, as stated before

lol, cool story bro, I'm sure that will suffice for the VonIvan fanboi's, no worries there are still coins to be gotten for other hardware items. Now, stream for coins so we can watch you dance. Dance puppet, dance. Just try not to be so obvious, or people might think you are a plagiarist.

VonIvan, you used this:


It will only be tied to the device holding the old license. A key part of this process is that it will save a product key tied to the previously upgraded PC or device in Windows Store. This is how Windows 10 will later know that the install is allowed: It’s “one of the benefits of the new delivery system,” a Microsoft representative has told me.

As your own. It is not your own, it is Paul Thurrott's. This was used, in a stand alone reply, BY YOU.

"a Microsoft representative has told me"
It's not Paul Thurrotts, it's Microsofts response which was relayed by Paul which was relayed by me. Again, as general info.

No, that's where you are wrong. Here is his article, where you lifted it:

https://www.thurrott.com/windows/windows-10/3898/a-few-more-answers-about-windows-10-upgrades

Like many of you, I have questions about how the Windows 10 upgrade will work, especially for people who want to perform a clean install of the operating system. And while I don’t have all of the answers yet, I do have some information that you will find useful.

But what if you want to do a “real” clean install?

Microsoft tells me that it will be possible to do so.

Again, that's where you are wrong, as his article specifically states:
He is relaying information told to him by Microsoft as general info. Maybe you should actually read the article more carefully next time.

You got caught, and now you sound stupid.

But what if you want to do a “real” clean install?

Microsoft tells me that it will be possible to do so.

Again, more shit talk, less intelligent talk. I could do this all day my friend.

This suggests that Windows 10 install media will be made available to upgraders, much as Microsoft today makes Windows 8.1 install media available for download. But I haven’t yet confirmed that this is the case, but I will do so.

Microsoft tells me that it will be possible to do so. And that a key part of this process is that it will save a product key tied to the previously upgraded PC or device in Windows Store. This is how Windows 10 will later know that the install is allowed: It’s “one of the benefits of the new delivery system,” a Microsoft representative told me.

I've actually identified your problem, you're just not that intelligent. Sure, the next time you Google for answers, either tell people who you are quoting (you didn't) or hide it better. The umbrella of "general information" is suspicious, at best.

WRONG.
As an IT guy related to Microsoft if anyone has any legit questions about the Win10 upgrade process inbox me or reply to this post.
First and foremost, once you upgrade to Win10 in the 1 year time span(July 29 2k15-July 29 2k16) it will forever be yours.
Will Windows 10 expire?
I read somewhere that the free upgrade to Windows 10 will expire after one year and that the user will then have to pay for the upgrade. Is this so? Alasdair

No, that’s completely wrong. Once you have installed Windows 10 and made a note of your product key, it’s yours forever. Well, you can use it until Microsoft stops supporting it, which is usually 10 years.
Here's a legit source if anyone doubts me(lel): http://www.theguardian.com/technology/askjack/2015/may/28/five-questions-about-free-upgrade-microsoft-windows-10


Alright now onto to Win10 itself. Some people ask themselves: Is Windows 10 an awesome OS like XP? What are the perks and cons of Win10? Why am I so confused? Glad you asked. Let me un-confuse you all.

Perks:

• It has a start menu.
  
• Boot up and startup times are reduced(on decent PCs ofc)
  
• Increased Performance ratio overall for all desktop applications
  
• The ability to have a more advanced virtual desktop than before(i.e. easier to access and use)
  
• The freedom to choose what preferences you want(i.e. no more forced tablet non-sense like in Win8, apps can be disabled with more ease)
  
• You pay no money for a $120 OS.
  
• If you decide you don’t like Windows 10 for some reason, you will be able to revert to your earlier operating system.
  
• Bill Gates will always love your family for purchasing Microsoft products
  
• You will most likely be given an online CD key in case you need to re-image your PC with win10.
  Cons:
  
• At the moment sadly, from what my OS department tells me Win10 Home Users will have forced updates which are downloaded and installed autmoatically(prepare yourselves for that update wait time ) that are basically impossible to disable without removing advanced functions within windows. Win10 Pr0 and Ultimate being used allows you to disable updates though.
  
• Before where you could just use a local account to log into Windows, you now need a User Profile account which had to be connected to Microsoft when created to login now.
  
• If you have Windows Vista, Windows XP, or anything older, you’ll have to buy Windows 10 and install it from scratch.
  
• Watching DVDs requires separate playback software (Microsoft has said before that a future update will add this functionality back “later this year”).
  
• If you have Windows 7 Home Premium, Windows 7 Professional, Windows 7 Ultimate, Windows 8 Pro with Media Center, or Windows 8.1 Pro with Media Center and you install Windows 10, Windows Media Center will be removed.
  
• Windows 7 desktop gadgets will be removed as part of installing Windows 10.
  
• Solitaire, Minesweeper, and Hearts Games that come preinstalled on Windows 7 will be removed as part of installing the Windows 10 upgrade. That said, new versions Microsoft Solitaire Collection and Microsoft Minesweeper will be installed.
  
• If you have a USB floppy drive, you will need to download the latest driver from Windows Update or from the manufacturer’s website.
  
• If you have Windows Live Essentials installed on your system, the OneDrive application is removed and replaced with the inbox version of OneDrive.
  
• Win10 doesn't bake you cookies for free.
  Here's a nice summary video:
  
  
  Would I recommend it personally?
