    Cannot upgrade win8.1 to 10


    Hi. So, my SSD on which i had installed windows 10 proupgraded from 8.1 pro in the 2016 broke. I bought a new one and i'm trying to install on it windows 10 pro.I used the media creation tool, creating a USB, but when i try to boot it manually from the bios i see a dash, then the window logo for 1 sec and then the pc restarts, so i see the motherboard splash screen and then the pc continuosly restarts.

    Thinking about Going back to Win8.1


    If want to disable IE, still can. However, can't uninstall it like were able to in XP/98/whatever.
    Here's how, although I find it useful in case Chrome or Firefox stops working and have to re-download it. *Wink
    1. Search for turn windows features on or off and click it in the search results.

    Hmm... Overall I think Win8(.1 update 1) is better than Win10.


    Question,.,, how is Win10 a backward step?? You do lose the start screen but there was an outcry when the start menu disappeared in Win8/Win8.1..

    Cannot upgrade win8.1 to 10

    Upgrade from win8 to win10

    I have already upgrade from win8 to win10 before 29 July 2016. After that my HDD is broken, I have to install windows on my new SSD. I use same key which I use to upgrade from win8 to win10 to install win8 (Niow it's 8.1). Today, I want to upgrade win10
    and I have some question.

    1. Is there a upgrade directly from win8.1 to win10 ??

    2. Can I use my win8 key to install win10 using windows10 installation media (with clean installation).

    Thanks
