| 1410692 | 2015-10-30 19:59:00 | Hello I bought a Windows 8.1 CD two years ago. I have now upgraded to Windows 10. (all good) My question is, if ever my hard drive died would I have to buy a new drive and then insert my Windows 8 CD and then upgrade to Windows 10. Is there a way of making a Windows 10 install CD ? Or if I wanted to reformat my hard drive. (I have a SSD C drive and my data is on a physical D drive.) |
