  1. Can I reinstall my free Win 10 upgrade after having to do a full reboot on my PC reverting...


    I downloaded the free Win 10 update when it was available a few years back and upgraded from Win 8.1. Two years ago my pc required a hard reboot from disc reverting it back to running 8.1. I never bothered too much about it until now. With it being a free download, I never saved it to USB or had a product key. If I use the Win 10 installer would I be required to pay for the full version or would Microsoft recognise that I had previously used Win 10 on my PC and let me upgrade free again? Thanks.

    :)

    windows 10 blocks google chrome - is this worth having?


    7 is an excellent OS, but my dear, if you undertook install of win 10 onto your machine by yourself then reverted, that level is steps above what is needed to simply uninstall and reinstall Chrome on the PC afterwards!

    If you want to stayy on 7, no worries, you have until next aug and can still upgrade for free.

    I would suggest removing chrome in 7 (control panel, programs and features) and then upgrade to 10.

    Then you would install Chrome again within 10 by going to:

    Chrome Browser

    Can I reinstall my free Win 10 upgrade after having to do a full reboot on my PC reverting...

    is hardware OK (Win 7) for upgrade to windows 10

    I think in one of the other PC with win 7 or win 8.1 I run media creators tools and in some step prompt/found graphics card not supported... for win 10. I didn't found alone reading specs of win 10, but the tool says me... after changed graphics card the tool said all OK and continued OK with upgrade... That I ask to reach this step in this current PC - win 7 - must be all OK for the upgrade? Or must continue to upgrade to show this?
    and got to point

    • UPGRADE this PC now
    • Create media(DVD, USB stick, ISO)
    is hardware OK (Win 7) for an upgrade to windows 10 for this PC???
