    I have win 8.1 and want to upgrade to win 10 home.


    I have win 8.1 and want to upgrade to win 10 home. I have purchased a win 10 that uses a thumb drive means I cannot directly download win 10 at this point.. Do I just plugin the usb thumb drive to install win 10, and it will prompt me to next steps? Will this install over my win 8.1 with no problems, or do I need to download the media creation tool? . I have backed up my pc so I wouldn't lose important files. Thanks for any help!

    :)

  3. Can't upgrade from Win 8 to Win 10

    Jessen P -- Thanks for responding. I looked at the link you provided, but it just provides a small list of error codes and possible causes for the error. Didn't see any steps to take to resolve the issue. And none of the listed error codes are the
    same as the one I got 0x80070006-0x90016 when I tried to upgrade to win 10.

    I have win 8.1 and want to upgrade to win 10 home.

    Win 10 boots...

    I can't answer to the speed of Win-8 booting. I tried the Win-8 preview and went back to Win-7 after a month. They say that Win-8.1 is a lot better than Win-8 was.
    My Win-10 TP is working well ATM.
