    Windows 10 refuses to install on my computer


    When I paid over $150 for the Windows 10 upgrade, it gave me a link to an ISO but no way to burn it on a disk as the install software was not available. I've tried using a WinRAR but it keeps failing. I tried running the setup.exe file from my C drive and I got this error message.


    Windows installation cannot be started from the current operating system. To install Windows, boot from the installation media, or upgrade from a supported operating system and restart the installation.


    I'm upgrade from Windows Vista and my PC is an Inspiron 531.

    :)

    Windows 10 refuses to install on my computer

    Installing Windows 10 on New PC?

    I'm going to be building a new PC on Christmas and want to install Windows 10 on it. I have Windows 10 on my current PC, which I installed upgrading from 8.1 with the files on a USB. How do I go about installing a clean copy of Windows 10 on this new PC? I think I recall something about installing it once makes Microsoft recognize your hardware, but since this will be a PC I'm not sure what steps I need to take. Do I need to go 8.1 -> 10 or is there a method of going directly to 10?
