Important Note to persons installing build Windows 10 10240
In order to activate Windows 10 build 10240 (RTM), you must upgrade from a previous qualifying operating system that is genuine and activated: this includes Windows 7, Windows 8/8.1 and Windows 10 Insider Previews.
If you are running the Windows 10 Enterprise Preview, you either need to stay in the Windows 10 Insider Preview Program or activate using a product key from the Volume License Service Center (VLSC) when it becomes available in August. If you are not eligible to be running Windows 10 Enterprise, I suggest you make preparations to rollback the original version of Windows your system was licensed for and make a reservation to upgrade to Windows 10.

Antonio,

Microsoft offered a FREE upgrade to valid, licensed and activated, computers running Windows 7 or 8.1. The upgrade matches what you had installed, Home or Professional. New computers will be distributed by OEMs with Windows 10 installed.

For a new machine you have built, or for a new Windows copy to be installed on a Mac ( where Windows was not previously installed ), you can buy a copy of Windows ( downloadable ) 10 at the Microsoft Store. The cost is $199 US.

There is no sharing of license keys. Now machines are registered to your Microsoft Account.

Tim
