| 1435846 | 2017-05-29 09:10:00 | Can I still install 'FREE' Win10 from a Win8 notebook ? Still available? |

| 1435847 | 2017-05-29 10:02:00 | As of two weeks ago you could. You are 100% better off installing fresh. Some say there's a "workaround" to upgrade using the existing OS, but you often get problems upgrading from one OS to another. This has been a majority cause of the problems. If the Notebook doesn't have a Product Key visible, then its more than likely embedded. When install onto a blank Hard Drive if it asks for the product key select I don't have one. You may have to select which version the W10 ( home or pro -- the same version as W8 has ) then when online it should activate. If you don't get the option to select the version or get asked for a product key then its already detected them. |
