I wouldn't think it matters but FWIW I selected English (not the International one).
you probably can do that.
if you have w7 home, you should grab the w10 home ISO
do it inside of OSX so that you get the single download instead of having to download the download tool. take the w10 file and just move it to a USB, load w7, and mount the ISO in your USB.
ill repeat it again: do not use the download tool, it seems to be a big failure point. use OSX to download the iso.

i just tried it again, it works
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10ISO
W10 (not KN or N or SL unless you live in htose regions) --> english --> 64bit (or 32 if that's what you got)
once it finishes downloading, copy the file onto a USB. reboot into windows, mount the ISO (you might have to download a 3rd party program to mount it)
if you reach that page in windows, it will prompt you to download the download tool first. dont do that.
Finally got it working! I had to disconnect the power from my graphics card and finish the initial setup on integrated only. After I let it do it's thing and ran any and all updates on the desktop, I shutdown, reconnected my graphics card, booted up and viola, good to go so far. I ran into a couple display issues a couple of times, but nothing a reboot didn't fix.
Finally got it working via the Microsoft tool. Had some problems with the Nvidia driver being disabled and refusing to reinstall but running Ccleaner eventually fixed that.
It seems to be just a reskinned Windows 8. I'm not seeing any of this amazing speed boost people have mentioned (it was pretty fast to begin with, though). Oh well, at least I won't have to go through that again.

Anyone know what the heck is going on with Windows 10 product keys?
I'm trying to fresh install from the ISO in a new VM. Have already successfully upgraded a Win7 VM. But of course you don't get a new Win10 product key.
I've tried extracting the key using a script which gave me 2 keys. Neither work in a new Win10 installation. I have also tried my Win7 key which also doesn't work.

I would also like to know.
My Windows 10 upgrade install is fully activated but I was thinking about doubling my bootcamp partition and to do that I'd have to do a proper clean install but I don't want to have to install Windows 7 first then upgrade again, and for that I need a key.
It can't be that easy, can it?
If that's the case, that would be awesome. Any official info to conform this?
It's that easy and it's exactly what I did on my Macbook
Anyway, here's a tutorial: http://www.theverge.com/2015/7/31/9077997/microsoft-windows-10-clean-install-how-to-guide

My experience is the opposite:
My computer (3 years old, self assembled): Runs better than 8 and much better than 7
My girlfriends computer, 3 months old, Asus Laptop: Runs better than 8, starts up slower, faster overall after in desktop.
Did you download the full BootCamp package from Apple (It'll be a zipped file labeled something like BootCamp5 for example and inside you have a setup.exe file). If so, when you run the setup.exe are you getting a "your machine is unsupported" error?
Actually their is a new Windows 10 key created. Forbes online shows you how to install and how to find new key. It also shows you a free app that shows you the new key. Here is the link to the article. The app is called Produkey.

Just put it on my 2014 rMBP, it only has one issue for me, and I'm sure I'll figure it out once I have a chance.
For some reason, tap to click doesn't work, and primary click takes two fingers, and secondary click takes one.

I have a 2010 Macbook with win 7 right now and would like to know if Win 10 works on these machines too. Has anyone tried it?
