How do I install Windows 10 installation on my Windows 8.1 OEM laptop?

0

I bought a laptop with windows 8.1 pre-installed, and got an OEM flash drive with windows 8.1 installation. Now I've successfully upgraded to Windows 10. How could I install windows 10 on my laptop even after, other words - how to become Windows 10 owner (not 8.1) ?

You can download Windows 10 with the media creation tool from Microsoft. With that tool you can make a bootable USB installation with a Windows 10 installer.

So from this point, that wouldn't be a problem to install windows 10 on my windows 8.1 OEM laptop? Or I should pay for this option in future? – kAldown – 2015-08-02T09:33:49.307

No that would not be a problem i did the same with my laptop and it worked – Wesley – 2015-08-02T09:34:53.333

That's a problem. I have no key. It's OEM (have been write to the motherboard) – kAldown – 2015-08-02T09:38:25.780

Thanks a lot. I asked this question from DELL, and they told that this impossible to grab key from OEM, that's why they send me a bootable flash :D – kAldown – 2015-08-02T09:45:57.543

Your welcome! Hahaha yeah i know your problem DELL wants to have closed systems thats why they are saying that kind of answers:/ – Wesley – 2015-08-02T09:50:27.417
