I installed the release preview Windows 8 over windows 7. With that will I have to buy the full version of Windows 8 Pro or will I be able to buy the $40 upgrade? If I revert back to windows 7 I'd have to do a full wipe and I don't want to do that.

Yes - very bad form.
Firstly it's contrary to the rules of XDA.
Secondly XDA is a Mobile Phone development site, not a Micro****e support site.
Thirdly, if you really can't use Google or find a more appropriate forum for your questions then at least stick it in the right thread in Off-Topic.

Is there any way to Install Android on HTC HD7 or no ?
I wait Reply Soon
You already received a reply when you asked about it before.

2. Android on HD7 - It is not yet possible, but I'm sure that someone out there is working on it and will figure out how to dual boot it. So maybe sometime in the near future we may see it on the HD7.

And maybe you didn't receive a reply, apart from the above reply, because you were either posting in the wrong section, didn't read the stickied threads in your devices section or you were too pushy and expected an answer right away.
Velcro. What a rip off!
You got a reply here as well.
And you didn't get an answer here because even after being given the answer, you still decide to make a new thread about it. Most probably in an attempt to gain your postcount.

You need to make like 10 posts in non development threads before you can post in the development section.

I have been lurking for years, but only recently did I obtain anything useful to say, but it would not allow me to. So when I went to post on the thread I was like,
RAAAAAAGGGGGEEE!!!!!!
But I suppose it would not hurt the forums out to have a few miscellaneous general discussion posts.
This is your answer:
Please read forum rules before posting

I too am frustrated by the 10 post rule - I'd be happy to help out answering questions if I knew what I was doing enough to contribute, but I don't. How am I supposed to learn if I can't ask questions? Just doesn't really make sense to me . . .

Guess I assumed this forum wasn't really designed for questions regarding rooting the phone. I pictured it more as a troubleshooting section / more general forum and thought questions regarding rooting a phone were for the developer thread. Perhaps I got my wires crossed

Oh nah Q/A is perfect for all GSIII questions haha I guarantee if you post a new thread about anything that is not your developed rom/mod/kernel in either dev section, you'll be met with a lot of negativity. I'm not even joking. A good tip to know is: when in doubt, post it in the Q/A section. Typically post in a developer thread if you're reporting bugs or helping someone else in that thread similar to what I'm doing right now with you. Only create a new thread in either development section if you developed something and want to share it.

Hi,
I think I might have downloaded or installed android 5 twice OTA. Because my WiFi connection got messed up right in the initial stage of the download. So, I might have agreed twice to download. Then I got 2 download windows and accept windows ruining. How to know if it was downloaded twice and how to delete one.

Welcome to XDA. BTW, don't forget to pay attention to the site rules and posted stickies:
QUESTIONS DO NOT GO IN GENERAL - There is a Q&A Forum - Please Use It.
It looks like someone reported it, so a mod will be by shortly to move it into the Q&A forum.
Cheers!
I just registered in the forum but I still for years, but let me ask nothing in the subforum galasy S7 Edge says I do not have permission to write ..... as I acquire those permissions to post in that forum?
Greetings and thank you
See down under
You can reply to threads in the Development forums, but you cannot create a new thread in the Development forums until you have 50 posts.
Did you try to reply to a thread, or post a new one? Which subforum forum was it?

Announcement: Forum Rules by MikeChannon (Forum Admin)
Search before asking
Use the XDA search to see if your device has it's own Subforum or Enhanced Device Tag e.g. http://forum.xda-developers.com/t/desire-828
Read any Index, FAQs, Sticky/Rollup and Help threads for your Device
Where to post?
If your Device has its own Subsection ask there not in http://forum.xda-developers.com/general
If there is a [Help Thread] Ask Any Question, Noob Friendly type thread for your device asking there, is more likely to be seen by someone that can help you.
[HELP THREAD] Ask ANY Question. Noob Friendly. (General Q & A)
[Ask Any Question][Newbie Friendly (General Android)
Create Question Threads in Q & A/Help subsections (Not General or Development Sections)
My device does not have it's own subforum? Questions for most devices without a subforum should be asked in one of these

What is the device doing now? Bootlooping, will not power on, stuck in bootloader/Fastboot mode...

What you are trying to achieve with this thread is admirable, but the very first response gives an idea of the fundamental problem - people refuse to read/educate themselves.
Your thread clearly states its purpose and intentions, and gets ignored straight away. The second query is totally unrelated too and has already taken this off topic
