    XP to 10


    I have an official free Windows 10 on my laptop.
    I have just bought 2 8TB drives which are not recognised by my XP offline desktop so I have to upgrade.
    Since I already have Windows 10 from Microsoft on my laptop, is it possible also to install it on my desktop without charge?
    If so, how do I do that, given that the desktop has no internet access?
    Many thanks.

    :)

    Reverting back to 7 is not possible, who would of guessed? God damn wheres the **** support for this ****!

    I have also tried to use an Ethernet cable to connect to the internet and the same or similar problems arise (not being able to access the flashing or none flashing taskbar with along with the windows associated programs). I suppose the direction windows
    is going, that internet is just a useless thing of the past??

    Windows 11 or "9" must be the answer to the inbred thinking to windows 10. AWFUL COMPANY AND PRODUCT! thanks for the damn support XP to 10 ;) i feel appreciated as a customer.

    I will just disregard this message and revert back to Windows 7. This has been very disappointing. This is a Microsoft upgrade and a Microsoft issue, which there is minute support for. I use this computer for work purposes, and this experience has done nothing
    but conflict the way I make my money. Therefor, I will not be wasting my money on a company that has no interest in supporting their customers or taking the time (three years obviously was not nearly enough) to make sure,
    their product, is fully functional before it is pushed out.

    Please ignore this entire post unless there is a known fix or an update that solves the incompetency of this upgrade. I wish to not waste anymore of my time with dead ends. Wish me good luck in reverting back to 7 as I have little faith in this faulty operating
    system!

    XP to 10

    Going from WinXP to Win10 is problematic, will undoubtedly need to check for drivers for the motherboard and the year-long free part only applied to Win7 w/SP1 and Win8.1, officially ended July 29/Aug 2, 2016. Without Internet access you wouldn't be able to automatically activate Win10 but should be given a phone number to call. I have successfully Upgraded WinXP to Win7 then got Win10 installed but there were driver issues, mostly with onboard video adapters and I plugged in PCIe X16 cards to solve the issue. Same issues will apply to computers that ran Vista but again, I have one I first Upgraded to Win7 before getting Win10 on it [in fact it is going to a client next week]. Some older computers had issues with large HDDs, even those external USB models, may be BIOS issues.

    Simple answer NO. You must purchase it.
