          1. @nocoltz It either installs on the current machine, or creates media on a USB. Here, I'm running an emulated USB on a virutal machine, which I made using Oracle VM's tools.

            1. @bobo Would you like a link?

                1. @nocoltz https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10 I am not sure if you can use the media created in trial mode, without providing a serial key. There's a chance that you can't, in which case, you can call me test fodder.

                  1. @bobo Wasn't it free to install from Windows 8.1?

                    1. @nocoltz Upgrade only, if you want to dual boot/test the os in a Virtualbox, this is the way to go.

                          1. @bobo This should enable you to skip the line, using the software I mentioned earlier. http://lifehacker.com/how-to-skip-the-line-and-upgrade-to-windows-10-now-1720854489
