I get that perspective. However, they need to allow the upgrade path to the full version—just like choosing to move up from w7. It’s not about entitlement; it’s about providing a clear option. If you currently have a license that isn’t in use (like w7 or 8/8.1), you should be able to install the latest version directly from the tech preview without needing to revert first.
I remain unconvinced, believing the preview is uncertain about any real issues. It seems the developers aren’t sure if there are underlying problems in the version they released, making it unworthy of time and effort to fix just for a few users. The developer preview wasn’t meant to replace any official operating system—it should have been dual-booted or tested on a dedicated machine.
I see your point about using it as a main operating system, but I’m confused about why upgrading straight to W10 isn’t possible. The existing issues shouldn’t matter because the upgrade will replace those problems with W10. W10 is a fresh OS, not just another direct install on older versions like W7/8/8.1.
It's tough to ensure old OS components stay intact during an upgrade. It seems this is more of an upgrade than a clean install, so some files might remain. They likely don't need a new activation system for those affected users, probably because they want to avoid giving free access or letting people fake activation. It doesn't seem like a major concern for them, and those installing DP probably shouldn't have thought a fix was necessary.
A lot of wrong info around, but I’m focusing on the subject. I’ve been using it for three weeks and haven’t experienced any problems.
