    failure configuring windows updates, and reverts to win 8


    Cliff S
    I have been running win 8 for a longtime, and ran win 8.1 for months without any problems, then got a virus, and could not get rid of it, so went back to win 8. Now when I try to reload win 8.1 it says "failure configuring windows updates, and reverts to win 8. What can I do ? or is it possible to load win 10 with what I have now. ????

    :)

    Can I activate windows 10 with my windows 8 product key?

    I have a Windows 8 (9200 build), lately i downloaded all the updates so that I could install 10, but I repeatedly got

    "Failure configuring Windows updates. Reverting changes. Do not turn off your computer" so I am on the verge of following this article
    to fix it . But I am lately fed up of it and I just want to get win 10, so can I simply download and use my key there? will that work?
