Wondering about a couple of things
My computer (at least the one eligible for free Win 10), a Thinkpad W520, never ticked over the auto upgrade, and when the breadth of Microsoft's plan became apparent, I installed GWX Control Panel Monitor. I'm not bothered. Still, it might be nice to have Win 10 in reserve, just in case.
I can see two scenarios:
1. DL the Win10 ISO, to be installed later. Might this work, or will MS's verification servers just say "too late" ?
2. Install Win10 on a spare hard drive, ready to be swapped in if the need arises. I remember that the 701C needed a BIOS tweak to be able to run Win95a versus the original Win95, but am assuming those sorts of necessities are a thing of the past.
The W520 runs Lenovo OEM Windows 7 Pro, 64-bit. Will either of the above work?--and I suppose I should also find out if it's legal. I'd hate to offend a eula.
