is it better to upgrade windows 10 from my existing windows 8.1?

or to install a fresh windows 10?

Choose upgrade first, right on top on your 8.1 to have your pc recognized by microsoft server. You only have to do this once.

After that, you can go to Recovery > Reset , which is the same as clean install.

After that, when you go online, your pc will automically activate by itself no matter how many times you clean install. Change HDD also never mind, as long as motherboard stay.

I'm kinda a win 10 noob. I'm using win 8.1 on a PC.. So upgrade should be ok.

But let say I want to use win 10 on my Macbook, is it possible? I have 2 win 8.1 licenses.

I think can.. since you have two separate 8.1 License.

why not just upgrade it with the offline method using tech bench iso?

not sure about your issue. mine is working fine.

will download the ISO using media creation tool
but don't think it will fix my problem, as previous windows update I also having issue to download windows update
force to enter cmd as admin, type "net stop wuauserv" and "net stop bits". then go c>windows>software distribution to delete all the files
and spam retry download windows update only work
but this time tried more than 10 times also won't work
guess is time to do a clean install

Window 10 is sucks man! My laptop keeps freezing like hundreds times a day, freeze up my excel,words and entire system for a least 3-4 minutes each time!

Tried to update window update, clean all junk, scan for virus, scan for optimization, remove MS 2013 and install MS 2016. Works fine for few days now it's coming back! Now installing fail for - • Upgrade to Windows 10 Home Single Language, version 1511, 10586.

Any helps sifu? Just feel like throw it away and buy a mac instead....

Download more RAM they say...

On a serious note, 4GB is barely enough but I never have freezing issue with Windows 10 ever (or windows 7 or 8 for that matter).

My guess probably you hard disk is about to fail ?

Clean reinstall can halp but make sure all the bios are updated (if your laptop is old).

what is specs of your laptop? I install Win10 on my aging Thinkpad X60 and it run butterly smooth with 3 GB of RAM.

Does it really help?

I'm using 8GB ram and I think it is more than enough to keep the application running.

Oh damn....don't tell me it's time. Can torrent cause the hard disk fail? Mine as well just change the HDD now, better than never haha

Mine is just 1 year Dell tho...is that consider old already?

Download CrystalDiskInfo andpost the result here.
