Windows 10 Exciting Licensing Changes!!

Windows 10 has decided to change their licensing scheme to allow Windows 10 to be licensed using valid Windows 7 or Windows 8 License Keys!!

Wow!  How cool is that??

This now allows existing Windows 7 or Windows 8 users to be able to install a clean/fresh copy of Windows 10 simply using their existing Windows 7 or Windows 8 License keys rather than attempting to install Windows 10 as an upgrade of existing Windows 7 or Windows 8 installations.

This removes a lot of the hassles with trying to rule out incompatible software from an existing Windows 7 or Windows 8 installation and allows simply performing a clean install and applying/installing the compatible software from the very beginning.

Way to go Microsoft!!
