Do you think it's worth upgrading from Office 2007 to 2010?"If they are stealing software, we want them to steal it from us." - Bill Gates in regard to piracy of Microsoft products. He knew that the theft would put his software in the lead. It takes a thief to know a thief. To bad Linus didn't market Linux, otherwise this would all be a moot argument.
As for 10.
I'm currently running 10, I used an RTM; for a fresh install, and KMSpico and it's running fine. VirtualBox is being a bit of a tard, and I had to use a Theme to turn my windows blue instead of that ugly grey, but otherwise its running fine. As a bonus of using KMSpico, I also have Office 2010 x64 with Visio running fine as well. I didn't like Office 2013.
Support for Office 2007 ends in 2017. I recommend you upgrade to a newer version of Office before that.Do you think it's worth upgrading from Office 2007 to 2010?
It does what it's supposed to so (I just use Word and Excel) I think it's fine, right?
I meant "how is Bill Gate's going to eat", but who's he going to eat will work just as well...I hope no one.

Can we even talk about pirated stuff on GBAtemp?
Are you using Windows 8 (aka Windows 8 Core) or Windows RT?OK. So I have a tablet, Win8 (not Pro) came with it. How could I update it to an permanently activated Win10 Pro? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks for the reply! It's not RT, it has Desktop and such... [emoji1] So the 180 day KMS activation on Win8/8.1 becomes permanent on Win10 (and MS can't tell it from the DAZ method)? OK, I've updated now to Win10(Home?), so I have to restore Win8 from the built in recovery partition? Then how do I install Win10? What is the generic key for Win10 retail for the activation to carry over? Do I need to wait for the GWX app or will a clean install do?Are you using Windows 8 (aka Windows 8 Core) or Windows RT?
- If you're using Windows 8/8.1 Core, you can legitimately upgrade to Windows 10 Home for free.
- If you're using Windows 8/8.1 Core but want to upgrade to Windows 10 Pro, you need to upgrade to Windows 8/8.1 Pro first by inputting the generic Windows 8/8.1 Pro key using the Add features option. After that's done, you can activate Windows 8/8.1 Pro using something like MTK. Once you're activated, you can remove AutoKMS, upgrade to Windows 10 Pro, and receive the free permanent activation. After you've upgraded and activated, it is recommended that you shift to the retail channel after the upgrade by inputting the generic Windows 10 Pro retail key using the command prompt.
- Alternatively, you can upgrade from Windows 8/8.1 Core directly to Windows 10 Pro, but you won't get the permanent activation that comes with the free upgrade. Instead, you will have to KMS-activate Windows 10 Pro using something like MTK. This will work, but I don't recommend it because Microsoft could push an update to the KMS protocol and neutralize this activation method.
- If you're using Windows RT, then you are going to have to wait for a specific update to Windows RT that will give you some of the features of Windows 10.
Yes, the activation becomes permanent after you upgrade to Windows 10, even if you upgraded from a KMS-activated Windows 8/8.1. However, I don't know what you're wanting to do if you're already on Windows 10.Thanks for the reply! It's not RT, it has Desktop and such...

Sorry for asking this much...
I'm on Win10 Home. That's why I want to know the shortest route to an activated Win10 Pro. And you said I need to shift to the retail channel after installing. If I enter a generic key, will my Windows keep the activation? And what is that key?Yes, the activation becomes permanent after you upgrade to Windows 10, even if you upgraded from a KMS-activated Windows 8/8.1. However, I don't know what you're wanting to do if you're already on Windows 10.
But this is KMS activation, right?Activating Windows 10 without any tools:
Open CMD and enter these 3 commands:
slmgr /ipk NPPR9-FWDCX-D2C8J-H872K-2YT43
slmgr /skms http://kms.xspace.in
slmgr /ato
Done
How does it work:
First command changes your Activation Code
Second command changes address of Activation Server to a server that activates anything that provides the code from command 1
Third command requests activation
THIS METHOD IS NOT TESTED BY ME, SO I DON'T KNOW IF IT WORKS
Edit: I don't think I am breaking any rules here, because that product code is not valid. It is placeholder code used on that server.
I actually have no idea what it is.But this is KMS activation, right?
