    Thanks for the reply *Smile, Recently i checked the version of the ISO file and it is windows 10 home (x64) and the current version of my windows is 8.1(x64) single language, so i am quite sure that version compatibility is not the problem.

  2. I could be wrong about this, but I believe that "single language" is different enough from the ISO you downloaded that it is forcing a product key entry. I don't know where you have to go to get a "single language" ISO, sorry.

    Considering there is a Windows 10 Single Language ISO for download, that certainly IS your problem. You are trying to install a different version than what you currently have.

    Download the Windows 10 Single Language Edition ISO here:

    Windows 10 comes on a DVD, not CD. And it is certainly not sold for 35 BDT or about $0.45. *Smile You may have been sold a pirated copy. Please check with your seller and ask him for a legally licensed copy/product key.

    If you plan to upgrade an activated copy of Windows 7 or 8.1, it should go through provided you start the process whilst connected to the internet and download the upgrade stub.

    Have you signed up for the Insider program? If not, go here: Home page - Windows Insider Program

    Boot from an activated and qualifying OS (Windows 7 or Windows 8.1), log into your Insider account, download the stub and follow instructions on your screen. The download is about 2.7 GB, so you need a fast broadband connection. Set up will take 40-60 minutes.

    This is precisely what I have been telling you in my previous posts!!

    When I point out you may have been sold a pirated DVD you said you're trying to install the Insider version. And then you wanted information on how to install it. I advised you on how to proceed after booting from an activated and qualifying OS i.e. Windows 7 or 8.1.

    Sorry buddy. I don't think anyone on this forum will help you pirate software. You can:

    a) Buy a genuine copy of Windows 10
    b) Buy a genuine copy of Windows 7/8, install, activate and then upgrade to Windows 10. The free upgrade offer ends July 29, '16 after which you will have to pay.
    c) Use a free OS like Linux on your laptop

    Good luck!

    Antony720 - if you want an activated Windows 10 on your computer then you are going to have to purchase a real and genuine Windows 10 - or a real and genuine Windows 7, 8 or 8.1 to upgrade before July 29. That's all we can tell you to do here.
