Windows 10: Upgrade to Windows 10 from 8.1 Embedded Pro

Hi guys,

I know there was a way to do this 5 years ago but I am unsure it still works. My question is, how do I move from Windows 8.1 Embedded Pro to Windows 10? It has only just come to my attention that Windows 8.1 Embedded Pro is apparently hampering my system performance.



Thanks!
