Will find out the rest. How can they tell if currently activated?
Open control panel and go to the System pane. At the bottom the activation status will be reported with the blue "ask for genuine" badge. If it is indeed activated, then set the Windows Update to fast ring. If your friend opted into the Insider Preview program, he/she should get pushed build 10240, which is the shipping version of Windows. This person will not receive a CD key suitable for a clean install, but will receive indefinite updates that will keep the system genuine and activated for as long as they continue to accept fast ring updates.

Re: TF2 Gun Mettle Update
Contracts have become kind of an impulsive thing for me so no promises that I'll have it but I can stick around till 10 on Thursday so I'll be there for a while at least.
Re: TF2 Gun Mettle Update
I can'tish make due to group rides that last until 8pm. Everyone is aware that if you are doing this for contracts you have to use a Valve server?

Re: TF2 Gun Mettle Update
Any chance we could make this a Thursday thing? I know it doesn't quite roll off the tongue so well but a TFTursday(TFThursday? ThursdayF2?) would work so much better for me.

Re: Windows 10 launches this week. AMA.
Some insight from a friend of mine:
"Anyway, Microsoft has hit Windows 10 installation out of the park. I always keep the tin foil ready and assume they will be buttheads at release but they were not. You can go right to Microsoft.com and get a ISO of Windows 10 - real legit "here it is no tricks" download: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10
You can save a ISO, make USB, DVD, etc. No keys - when you upgrade it just does it, if you clean install it asks you for a Windows 7, 8 or 8.1 key. I used an old Windows 7 key, done. I am proud of Redmond."
