QUOTE(Cynox @ Jul 29 2015, 03:56 PM) You need to fully activated your existing windows 7 or 8 license. Then use the iso to do an upgrade first and just skip the step to key in serial. After the successful upgrade, your computer will connect to internet and auto activate your windows 10. After the activation is successful, if you want to clean installation, use the reset function to wipe your computer clean. That's what i understand from various sources from Google, correct me if I am wrong. p.s. No, all your previous Windows key cannot be used for Windows 10 activation.  QUOTE(horns @ Jul 29 2015, 03:59 PM) No. Free upgrade works this way: a working and legit windows running on the computer you wanna do upgrade, make sure it's connected to internet. Download iso and do offline upgrade. After upgrade, connect the computer and make sure w10 is activated. First of all thanks for the info, actually i have done my Windows 8.1pro update & mange to submit the reservation for Windows 10, i also had received email from MS for the reservation confirmation. However after that process i'm changing my hardware (GPU & adding a sound card) & format my pc, i did the fresh installation of he Windows again, i have done all the Windows update again now the small windows upgrade logo (GWX) didn't appeared anymore, my C: drive also don't have downloaded Windows 10 file folder Now you can wipe the disk, and use the same iso to create bootable usb/dvd to do clean install without key (skip all sections that ask for key). After completed, connect to internet and your w10 will be activated. I just did that.  , not sure it is related to the new hardware? |

QUOTE(horns @ Jul 29 2015, 04:14 PM) don't worry, as long as the os is activated, you can use the iso to do upgrade. I see, thanks you so much. Tonight will download the ISO & do the upgrade just make sure the computer is connected to the internet during upgrade. ms will collect necessary information about your computer for w10 activation, so it needs a working internet connection.  |

QUOTE(Cynox @ Jul 29 2015, 04:15 PM) i think only changing a major part like motherboard and hard disk (from my own experience) will alter the HardwareID and make the key not working. Ya, activated successfully, will download the iso & do the upgrade. Thank you so much So your fresh install Windows 8.1 pro and activated successfully? If yes, then you should just download and apply all the windows update and wait for the logo to appear.  |

Thanks to horns & Cynox for your guidelines, i have successfully upgraded to Windows 10 pro yesterday night
Nvidia GTX980Ti & Corsair Link give me lot of problems to upgrade by using GWX method, upgrade from Windows 10 ISO has no issue at all.  This post has been edited by llk: Jul 30 2015, 01:59 PM |
