Is it worth the free upgrade?
>>
If you don't mind Microsoft spying on your shit and the OS hogging RAM for no fucking reason

Then yeah sure

1. Backup system with clonezilla
2. Upgrade
3. Make sure its activated
4. Restore to backup

Done! Now the license applies to your hardware Id forever!

>clonezilla
>Clonezilla doesn't support online imaging yet, i.e. the partition to be cloned has to be unmounted

Or use the free version of Macrium Reflect if you want to do it without unmounting
>>

>has to be unmounted

Soooooo? Disable fast boot or whatever if you're using win8[.1]
>>
>>52437503
But why do that if you can just keep shitposting on /g/ while the cloning takes place.
>>
>>52437210
I don't mind either. Thanks!

If your imaging software works like that without reboot, go for it.

I just chose clonezilla because it's my biased term for imaging. So yes, use your favorite imaging software. If you are a poor boy like me, that's probably clonezilla.

Acronis and Macrium are also nice softwares. If you're fully autistic you can choose to use FOG. ( yes I know that this is basically clonezilla)

>Windows 10 is free
Microsoft should really start calling it 'gratis upgrade' so people don't wrongly assume WIndows is libre software desu senpai.
>>
>>52437093
Free upgrade is limited to your hardware. Any major hardware upgrade will void your license. Keep your win7 or 8 key close or expect win support fixes like 'buy a new key'
>>
>>52437663
Gratis is german and means free. What's your point?

It's not worth it. Unless someone force you to do it at work and someone literally pays you to update it then you are a sucker. But you already are a sucker if you use Windows privately.
>>
>>52437093
It will have longer support, particularly so if you come over from W7.
Depends on if you care about having valid license of course.
