    Problem Downloading Win10 onto my Win8.1 PC


    Have just bought Windows 10 to download onto my PC. I have 39.5GB available on my 'C' drive but after the download completes it mentions 'partition' and not enough space and won't install. I am not really very computer savvy but before I get in a professional...I wonder if I am missing something. I have 16.0GB Ram and my Processor is 3.50GHZ

    :)

    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

    Win8 to Win10

    Your reply is not helpful. Are you an employee of Msoft? In spite of your condescending suggestion, I was able to go back to Win 8 thereby eliminating the bugs and instablnessability of Win10. Exception being the way Msoft trys to sneak 10 onto my Win8
    updates. Well I fixed this **** too by turning off the irritating updates.

    Take a hike.

    Problem Downloading Win10 onto my Win8.1 PC

    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..

Overall I think Win8(.1 update 1) is better than Win10.: "Reset This PC" Confusion Firstly it seems MS have gotten-rid of the 'Refresh This PC' terminology to describe the distinction between keeping files but keeping settings/apps intact, or removing both files and apps/settings (the old Reset This PC). After you make this first...
