If your hard drive dies or you replace too many components, it will be considered a different machine and you probably will not be able to re-upgrade if you use your old Windows 7/8/8.1 media.  I may be wrong on this, but following Microsoft's track record, probably not.
I think I saw it mentioned somewhere that the product key is linked to the motherboard. Not totally sure, but kinda lame since I want to upgrade mine soon. But at least I know in advance that there may be some extra costs to take into account.

In other news, I took the plunge and upgraded to 10. Took me a while to stop fiddling with my settings and actually test out some of my most-used applications. So far no problems. Smile Just gotta get used to it all.

Unfortunately I won't be testing out Cortana yet, as she's not available in my country. Oh well. I'd switch my region and language settings to unlock her as apparently a lot of folks have been doing, but I want the full "tailored to your culture" experience that microsoft seems keen on delivering within a few months. Tongue We'll see.

Overall I'm enjoying the new aesthetic (having the accent colour change depending on my varying wallpapers is a nice optional touch, on top of the fact I've been dreaming of a black angular UI like this since Vista), my stuff works, and I've yet to have problems~

Upgraded. Love it. Had some issues with nVidia drivers and then FFXIV, but those are sorted now. (Will probably clean install this weekend, as I don't like leftovers from "upgrading.")

I've been using Win10 since September or so, and honestly I liked Windows 8/8.1 too. I've never understood why people always give the new WinOSes so much static when they come out; if they wanted everything to be the same, why bother upgrading? Anywho... The layout is different, but if you don't mind learning the interfact, I think you'll really like it. I'm slowing converting everyone in the office by showing them all the cool stuff I can do. (Enhanced window management, multi desktop, Cortana, Xbox One Streaming, etc.)
