    Factory Restored to Win8.1 on Dell, would like to restore my previous upgrade to Win10


    I had opted in on the free Windows 10 upgrade in 2016, upgraded and everything has been fine until my HD developed some bad sectors in my dell and I had to do a factory OS restore to get it up and running again. I do have a Windows.old folder in there in case there is some file or registry setting that proves I own a valid copy of the Win10 upgrade. Windows update is complete. Is there a way to tell windows to download and install Win10 upgrade or check to see if I own it based on a Microsoft sign in or otherwise?

    :)

  2. Win8 OEM upgrade to Win10. What happens if I need to factory reset?

    So I have Win8 on my laptop with a factory restore image. If I upgrade to 10, what will happen in the event that I need to factory reset? Win8 will be unlicensed and I won't have Win10 media, yes?

    Thanks for the replies, but that's terrible, I canceled my reservation.
