Microsoft Windows 10

What happens if I change my motherboard?

As it pertains to the OEM licenses this will invalidate the Windows 10 upgrade license because it will no longer have a previous base qualifying license which is required for the free upgrade. You will then have to purchase a full retail Windows 10 license. If the base qualifying license (Windows 7 or Windows 8.1) was a full retail version, then yes, you can transfer it

Will I get a product key, can I get a product key?

By default, Windows 10 builds are pre-keyed, meaning, you do not have to enter a product key and should not be prompted to enter one even after Windows 10 has completed setup.

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.

 

Nice a minha licença é retail.

Para quem estiver a usar as previews e se quiser ajudar a testar mais um produto microsoft

Hello, Windows Insider –
19449_spacer.gif
It's Gabe again from our Operating Systems Group (OSG) with more updates on the Windows Insider Program. Since my last email to you, we’ve come out with new releases, including both desktop and phone builds.

I'm also excited to announce that Office 2016 is now available for Insiders to preview on Windows 10. It's loaded with new features that we'll be delivering to Office customers later this year. But we'd like to get early feedback from Insiders like you now. Download the Office 2016 Preview today."

A Microsoft vai dar a licença do Windows 10 a quem participa/participou no Windows Insider. Ou seja, quem não tem Windows legal, se neste momento se inscrever no programa e instalar uma versão do Windows 10, associar a sua ID microsoft a essa instalação, quando o 10 sair vai ficar com a versão definitiva de borla.

A confusão das licenças do Windows 10 e a forma como estas vão ser dadas aos utilizadores do Windows, continua. Depois de ontem a Microsoft ter anunciado que quem participou no programa Windows Insider e nos testes do Windows 10 iria receber uma licença gratuita, voltou agora atrás e alterou ligeiramente a fórmula.

É uma mudança muito simples no texto do anúncio, mas que altera por completo os visados nesta oferta e também a forma como podem ter acesso a ela.

A notícia de ontem mostrava que a Microsoft tinha reservado uma surpresa para todos os que testaram o Windows 10 pelo programa Insider. Como agradecimento por estes testes, a Microsoft ofereceria uma licença do Windows 10.

Mas, de ontem para hoje, a Microsoft alterou o texto do anúncio e mudou ligeiramente as regras do jogo, passando a colocar algumas limitações no processo.

Do texto de ontem podia ser entendido que qualquer pessoa poderia usufruir desta oferta, mesmo os que não têm uma instalação genuína do Windows, conseguindo assim uma licença válida. Com esta mudança essa possibilidade desapareceu e voltou apenas a ser utilizável por quem tem um Windows genuíno.

As long as you are running an Insider Preview build and connected with the MSA you used to register, you will receive the Windows 10 final release build. Once you have successfully installed this build, you will also be able to clean install on that PC from final media if you want to start over fresh. It’s important to note that only people running Genuine Windows 7 or Windows 8.1 can upgrade to Windows 10 as part of the free upgrade offer.

Para além do adicionar da referência à necessidade de um Windows 7 ou 8.1 genuínos, foram ainda removidas outras referências ao facto desta nova versão “permanecer ativada”.

As regras anteriores poderiam, mais uma vez, ser aproveitadas por todos os que não tinham versões registadas do Windows e que conseguiriam assim ter acesso a uma licença válida.

Mas a Microsoft quer manter estes utilizadores separados dos que cumprem as regras e, por isso, criou regras específicas para os diferenciar.

Falta a Microsoft esclarecer de forma final como vai ser possível a todos os que participaram no programa Insider terem acesso à sua licença gratuita.

Foi-se...

Over the weekend, Microsoft's message to Windows Insiders about upgrading to Windows 10's final release became intertwined in a licensing issue which the company tried to clarify by bolting on a few words to a recent blog post. Last week, the company announced a few changes coming to the way the Insider builds will be delivered which some users pointed out creates a loophole in the licensing to obtain a fee copy of Windows 10.

Here's the issue, if you are participating in the Insider program, you will be able to upgrade to Windows 10 on July 29th for free, just like any consumer who has a valid license of Windows 7 or 8. The issue becomes is that if you do not have a valid license; what you can do is download an ISO of Windows 10 which Microsoft has made available for several builds of Windows 10, install that OS cleanly, then upgrade to the final build on the 29th and voila, you have a free version of Windows 10.

The Internet went ballistic over this issue and Microsoft subtly responded by bolting on to their initial blog post the words "It’s important to note that only people running Genuine Windows 7 or Windows 8.1 can upgrade to Windows 10 as part of the free upgrade offer.*" At this time, the company has not said how or if they are going to verify that Windows 10 Insiders have a valid copy of Windows 7 or 8.

In short, by using a loophole that Microsoft has created because they released ISOs of Windows 10, you can go from Windows XP or Vista to Windows 10 for free if you put your moral concise and ethics aside. Because the user never obtained a license of the OS with Windows 7 or 8, this method is technically pirating the OS.

But is this really an issue for Microsoft? Likely, not; there is a small probability that a few users of the Insider program have never purchased a genuine version of Windows 7 or 8. But anyone who is in the Insider program who is using the OS on a machine that previously had Windows 7 or 8 on it, is already eligible for the free upgrade so this loophole is of no value to them.

You could make the argument that Windows XP or Vista users can save themselves a couple hundred dollars and use this method to upgrade to Windows 10 for free but if a consumer is still using XP, the likelihood of them jumping to Windows 10 is small as they have remained entrenched with the decades old OS. And even if a few do, the bottom-line impact of this loophole is minimal, except in China, where piracy runs rampant. But in that case, do you believe those users, who already pirated Windows XP, are going to buy Windows 10 in the first place?

Orange text are edits to original post

Microsoft also made a few other subtle changes to the announcement post which appear to be legal verbiage to protect the company in the future regarding licensing of Windows 10. The company removed the words "remain activated" from their announcement post for Insiders who are upgrading to Windows 10 RTM for free which the Internet assumed was some type of work-around to eventually charge the users.

Alas, this is appears to be simply a case of the legal team interjecting into the post after it went live to protect itself in the future as Gabe Aul has clarified that Insiders get Windows 10 free and clear, even if it's a clean install of the OS with no prior install of Windows 7 or 8.

It's worth pointing out that for a company to amend a post after it goes live is a concerning issue but the update does not appear to be intentionally devious. Still, Microsoft has a history of confusing the user with ambiguous messages (another question still outstanding is what update is coming to Windows RT users) and this is only the most recent example.

In a matter of about 24 hours, the Internet has gone full circle on the issue of Windows 10 is free for Insiders, to it's not free, back to it's free for Insiders as long as they, at some point in time, had a genuine Windows 7 or 8 license.

Afinal parece que dá. Que confusão que vai para aqui lol
