  2. Reinstalling Win 10 after Hard-Drive replacement

    Hi

    I have a Dell PC with Win 8.1 installed. I have updated to Win 10 almost a year ago. Recently i had a problem with my hard-drive and i needed to replace it, and by that i needed to reinstall Windows again which took it back to Win 8.1, so can i install the
    PC back to Win 10? I'm aware the free upgrade is over now

    Reinstalling Win 10 to a replacement hard drive

    I have an HP Pavilon desktop which I upgraded to WIN 10 from WIN 7. The hard drive is starting to fail with a BIOHD-8 error.Before the drive fails I would like to create a set of restore or recovery disks so I can buy a new one terabyte drive to replace
    the current 750 gig drive and reinstall the current version of Win 10. Will creating an ISO disk image work if I used a one terabyte external USB to create the image and then replaced the drive and copied the image back? I'd like to use a set of DVD to create
    an image or recovery drive so I wouldn't have to "waste" the external Hard drive. The steps in Control panel create a Windows System Repair Disk and a System Image but it says its for WIN 7. What am I missing? Seems that the system image created for DVDs (64
    bit) would occupy 14.37 gig or four DVDs.

    Help

    Windows 10 Pro reinstall after hard drive failure

    My hard drive failed and had to be replaced. I had just replaced it a few months ago and still had the USB boot drive with the Windows 10 reinstall I created at that time. When I ran it for the previous HD install, I was automatically upgraded to Windows
    10 Pro without any issues. I used the same USB drive to reinstall the OS on the replacement drive and cannot get it to upgrade to Windows 10 Pro. Instead I get this: "You're running Windows 10 Home and you're all set." I am not all set - I have a digital license
    and I want Windows 10 Pro. I have tried every suggestion on the Microsoft site and end up in the same place.

    Has anyone run into this and know of a way past it? The support assistant thing is useless.

    Thank-you for any insights you can provide.
