Hi,
I am using Lenovo IdealCentre Q190 with preloaded Windows 8.1 in it. Now i planning to upgrade to Windows 10. Can i do fresh install windows 10 using its OEM windows 8.1 key?
There are ways to extract the OEM Windows 8.1 key. Get it and write it down.I am using Lenovo IdealCentre Q190 with preloaded Windows 8.1 in it. Now i planning to upgrade to Windows 10. Can i do fresh install windows 10 using its OEM windows 8.1 key?

Another suggestion is to swap out the old HDD/SSD with a new one and do a clean install so that if anything goes wrong you can just revert to the previous OS by swapping in the old HDD.
If you don't have another HDD/SSD to swap, do a system image backup of the installation to an external storage that you can restore from in case you screw up.
Anything that can go wrong, usually does go wrong since we don't know what specific issues or restrictions your mini desktop has.
