[reactor_sa]

Anyone know where I can get en-gb_windows_10_multiple_editions_x86_dvd_6846906.iso

I know, what's this nonsense, since msdn premium became enterprise we only getting volume licence software?? Sis.

Lekker man See you on the other side!



Official Win10 ISO's are available for download now.

P.S You need to upgrade from genuine 7/8 first to get free Win10 license linked to your MSA then you can do a clean install anytime afterwards.

how is the win10 licensed linked to your MSA?

Yes all that happened yesterday but up to now nothing more has happened. I feel cheated.

Open Command Prompt as admin and run this command: wuauclt.exe /updatenow

I mean. I have windows 10 installed now after the upgrade, now i download the iso... will the iso already contain my license? Or will i have to enter a product key of some sort?

Thanks, I have a genuine 7 Home Basic and 8.1 Pro that I want to upgrade, possible some 7 Starters too and plenty of 7 Pro boxes at my friends place. All legal.

That tool is flying on my Vox fat pipe

Nah, it's not needed. Just enter your MSA account and you are activated automatically

how is the win10 licensed linked to your MSA?

No idea how it works but I read somewhere that your Win10 license is linked to both your MSA/unique hardware id. As long as your are connected to the Internet, you can activate your clean Win10 install without entering a key (applicable only to those who upgraded from geniune 7/8.1 on their devices).
