I noticed the discussions around Windows 10 threads are a bit scattered. Since Google hasn't provided clear guidance, I've been testing Windows 10 in Technical Preview for several months. After release, my System Properties showed Windows 10 Pro, but earlier it listed Technical Preview. Speccy confirmed a 64-bit version.
