Ran into some troubles lately, and tried to refresh/restore my Windows 8.1 pro 64 bit PC, but couldn't. So, I just installed (Custom Installation) the same OS again from the recovery media I created, and all the files there as usual moved to the windows.old folder.
Now, I am having this issue: Windows 10 is ought to release soon, and I had reserved a free upgrade. To get that app, I need to install some GBs of updates all over again which I had already installed before.
So, is there a way to get Windows 10 (the upgrade I had reserved before, in the app, which went missing after the re-install) without downloading those updates?
And is there any way to install those updates from the windows.old folder?
Thanks in advance :)
Okay, so downloading the iso and running it will work? No need to reserve it or anything? – magicbeans – 2015-07-26T05:27:16.187
I thought upgrading via the app wouldn't result in a windows.old folder? Would that mean I lose all the softwares I installed all over again? – magicbeans – 2015-07-26T15:43:10.847
My windows is already windows 8.1. But has no updates installed. I want to save broadband, but from your replies I get the impression that you are not very knowledgeable on the subject than me or you didn't understand my question properly. Thank you for your time. :) – magicbeans – 2015-07-29T05:27:50.423
