I've been repeatedly told to jfdi, So when I get home next week that's what I intend to do, but ...
Because I have been away it could be that when I boot the desktop W7 machine (which will be first to get 10) the 10 download may start and I haven't as yet run the back up image of 7 which I wanted to do so as to be upgrading onto a clean W7 OS. So on getting home I plan to boot up off line and run the clean image then connect to the net and see what happens after the normal updates are finished.
Q ...Should that be OK! and not screw up the 10 install. I then propose to upgrade from the ISO disc as that seems to be the most reliable way.
Never having used dual boot before I wouldn't mind dual booting 7 on my spare 1TB partition and installing some of my older editing software which according to the W10 compatibility site may not run properly on 10. Otherwise it's going to be an expensive replacement of software that I am perfectly happy with at the present. Dual boot would at least give me time to find alternative software suitable to 10 which will do the job I want it to.
For instance the AVCHD software for my JVC HD camera is an issue. I'm not even sure if there is an alternative for 10 and if there is it won't be free and looks like it could be around £70 judging by the other JVC upgrades and if there isn't software for 10 the camera is as good as a brick.:confused: Also my Roxio 10 editor was a bob or two and isn't compatible with 10 but works just fine on 7 64bit, My Seriff X5, and Photosuit 7 looks like could be similar.:( So far only my copy of Photoshop looks like it will run on 10
So could I install my old copy of 7 as a dual boot using it's original W7 product key but with broadband connection disabled so as to keep it off line and not be upsetting MS.
What happens with 10 ?? will I get a completely new key retrieved with jellybean or whatever.
