QUOTE(ceo684 @ Feb 7 2021, 12:39 PM) Create installation media using the official tool also cannot? Cannot, but after do installation media, and do reinstall windows 10 using usb, do i still need entrry my key? I see win8 is listed there. Will need a separate thumbdrive. see Using the tool to create installation media (USB flash drive, DVD, or ISO file) to install Windows 10 on a different PC (click to show more or less information) https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10 Officially the "free upgrade in-situ" option may not be available since offer expired but doing it the long way still legit and works. |
