Windows 10 Tech Preview testers can upgrade to RTM

Posted on Tuesday, May 12 2015 @ 10:54 CEST by Thomas De Maesschalck

Microsoft Operating Systems Group data and fundamentals team general manager Gabriel Aul confirmed users of the Windows 10 Tech Preview will be able to upgrade to the final version of Windows 10 when it comes out later this year.

With preview versions of preview Windows releases, such an upgrade wasn't possible and required a new installation of the operating system.

At first there was some misunderstanding as his response seemed to imply that upgrading from Winows 10 Preview to RTM would be free, but he later responded that testers will need a valid license for Windows 7 or 8.x to upgrade to the final version of Windows 10.
