Hey all,
So I've been searching for an answer to this question and I can't find anything clear anywhere, so I thought I'd ask here. I had the tech preview installed in November but it was too buggy for my everyday PC, so I went back to 8.1. Now I'm tempted to go back to the tech preview - I'm sick of fullscreen apps and want them windowed! - but I really don't want to do it if I'm going to have to regress to 8.1 again before installing the RTM win10 version.
There's 3 possibilities here:
1) Tech preview doesn't know what win version users come from and forces them to regress to 7/8/8.1 and then upgrade to win10
2) Tech preview knows if a user upgraded from 7/8/8.1 to tech preview and thus lets you update to RTM win10
3) Tech preview kinows if a user comes from 7/8/8.1 but still forces you to do clean install or upgrade from 7/8/8.1
Since I just regressed in December, I really don't want to install the win10 tech preview just to have to do another clean install in a few months. If I can upgrade from the TP2, great. If not, I might just keep waiting until RTM.
So, do we know how this is going to play out?
