      Remember it is Steve Ballmer that primarily owns Microsoft, not Bill Gates 🙂

          Bill Gates is my rival. I sent him a reddit message informing him so obviously he knows about it.

              I am doing it now.

              Also trying to upgrade the 7 Win8 licenses (Product Keys) I bought. That's a bit more of an issue. (My issue, not theirs.)

                I have one remaining laptop that has to be done this week because it is on Linux and not Windows 7 so I don't have a way to acquire the Windows 10 upgrade license on it yet.

                  It would be nice if they had a way to just upgrade licenses.

                  The 7 keys I have are FPP so I can move around at will. It's just a PITA since they are used other places as non-Windows 10.

                    Yeah, they want to make sure that people actually go through the effort of getting Windows 10 and then have to make an effort to leave it again to not actually use it. It makes sense, even if it sucks.

                      I basically set up VMs on XS. Installed with the key, then killed it.

                      Though 3 of the 7 have already been used somewhere, so I am trying to track that down.

                        I have a feeling that that doesn't actually count. Are your licenses not OEMs?

                          FPP.

                          So should be OK.

                          If you try to reuse them, it balks at you, so they are registering somewhere.

                                    I'm also capturing all the actual new Win10 Product Keys. So hopefully I'll be OK.

                                    I don't really need a whole lot.

                                    And since I've found I use a lot more open source stuff anyway.

                                      Hmmm, you may be right. I just realized all the product keys are the same. Hmmm.....

                                      Well, whatever. I am doing all I can. 🙂

                                        Though the "Product ID"s are all different.
