Windows 10 has just reached RTM, which means that work on the new operating system has been finalized and Microsoft can now send it to OEMs to pre-install it on their devices. The build number that's supposed to be RTM is 10240, just like we reported to you not a long time ago, but Microsoft won't release it to insiders before July 29.
Source & Details

Question: if I upgrade from Win 7 key, is there a way for me to setup a dual boot?

I want to make the switch, but keep my current install while any kinks are worked out and driver mature.

I will say that after switching from windows 7 straight to 10, I just ignore the tile section of the start menu entirely and use it like a regular start menu.

lol srsly. I don't even know how its an issue at this point with Win 10. But hey if he doesn't like it, he can stay with that perfect Windows 7 you guys here love soo much. Switched from 7 to 8 and never looked back. 8.1 was even better and much faster especially when you consider all the main admin settings are one right click away from the start button on taskbar. But lets not turn this into a Windows 8 v Win 7 thread again.

Have you tried Classic Start?
I didn't care for 10 until I installed it.

if you UPGRADE then your current windows 7 key will be used for the windows 10 copy. in order to legally dual boot with legitimate copies you would have to purchase a copy of windows 10 outright and keep your windows 7 as is.

Has anyone tried 7Stacks on any Windows 10 builds? I can't live without that program. I think the wisest thing would be to wait until first DirectX 12 games become available before upgrading to Windows 10. Until then, I'll wait for RTM beta testers to do their job and report countless bugs because we all know RTM = beta test until thoroughly patched during the first 6 months of release

Yeah those DL links are not legit.
Any ISOs not actually from MS servers will not be legit, this includes but is not limited to Google drive, mediafire, dropbox or any other file sharing or file locker site.

There's a couple games patching up to DX12 on July 29th. Nothing noteworthy yet but it's happening quick. I haven't had an OS related bug yet while gaming so things are looking pretty good for the early days of this one.
