before installing windows 8 with key product incorporated in the BIOS can be upgraded to windows 10

Hello world

I have a hp laptop that has pre installed windows 8 with the incorporated into BIOS product key. I downloaded the iso file 10 windows from the microsoft Web site.

the question is will be 10 windows will be activated with my product key embedded in the BIOS automatically or I will need 10 windows key.

Thanks for the answers in advance.

Hello

No, 10 will not be activated as a free update if you try to install it on Windows 8. You can buy 10 to have activated.

You need Windows 8.1 to receive the upgrade FREE at 10.

See you soon.

And please do NOT post a Question and a Discussion of the same problem.

  • Boot Camp: This disc seems to have been divided by another utility. It must be erased before installing Windows.

    I have a SATA Western Digital to 6 TB drive on my Mac Pro 2012.  I thought "what better place to put a bootcamp partition?  But when I went to use the Boot Camp Assistant, I was greeted with this:

    Boot Camp: This disc seems to have been divided by another utility. It must be erased before installing Windows.

    I thought ' OK - I'll delete data... Use utility disk to erase the disk completely, and then try again.  After a few hours, I used... completely partitioned disk utility disk and tried again.

    Same message.

    It seems that for some reason I can erase completely and use the entire disk for Windows (blah) or should I use another drive or not Boot Camp at all.  Is there a problem with the size of the hard drive Boot Camp can support?  Any advice?

    Hello ElPapa,

    Thank you for using communities of Apple Support.

    I understand that you want to put a Boot Camp partition on your Western Digital HD connected to your Mac Pro. What is your boot drive? If this isn't the case, it could be part of your problem. According to the following article on installing Microsoft Windows using Boot Camp, it is said that you need "at least 55 GB of free disk space on your startup disk".

    If you install it on your boot drive and still get this message, take a look at this article: Boot Camp: alert message Partition when you use Boot Camp Assistant

  • Name of the product lost in the BIOS?

    I have a script to look at laptop computer product names, but some have lost their names. Called "Tecra M2" for example, they are now "Portable computer". I tried to restore the factory settings on the BIOS, but it's always the same. I suspect it's to do with the help of the Prodcut recovery CD but I am not some exercise.
    Does anyone know why this happened and how can I solve this problem? I can provide more information if necessary.

    Jeremy.

    Hi Jeremy

    AFAIK when the unit is a new it is the name of the actual product but it is possible that your device has a new motherboard and having traded, there is no entry of old. The restore CD just install OS but it has no effect on the BIOS settings or other entries.

    Can you please tell me why it is so important to you? I'm not sure but I think that this just certified partner can change that.

  • Why my product number in the BIOS is different from what is printed on the laptop?

    I bought a HP Envy cl 4-1043 ultrabook and I created a set of backup on a USB key recovery.

    3 months later the 32 GB SSD is crushed and HP it replaced under warranty. The system unusable because of excessive corrupted files.

    The problem is now, I'm unable to retrieve the ultrabook using my recovery of backup series. The error reported is that the number of products reported by the BIOS is different from the one originally used to create the recovery image.

    The product reported by BIOS now number is B5T09UA #AB4

    What is printed on my ultrabook is B5T09UA #ABA

    The version of the BIOS is F.0B

    My question is why the product number has changed? He changed during the replacement of my ultrabook of the SSD?

    How I am now able to recover my operating system to Windows 7? I appreciate if someone can advise me.

    I suggest you contact the after-sales Service and sending it back to correct the error. It takes using a utility software owners to correct this problem.

    However, the requirements for the media upgrade is that you have an operating system already eligible such as Windows XP or Vista installed to use it. Since the Windows 7 end user license agreement.

    15 UPDATES. To use upgrade software, you must first be licensed for the software that is eligible for the upgrade. After the upgrade, this agreement takes the place of the agreement for the software that you upgraded. After upgrade, you can no longer use the software that you upgraded.

    So, if you are always denied, you will just have to reinstall Windows XP or Vista and let it do the verification of eligibility.

  • Can I clean the hard drive before installing Windows Dell & as I've heard doesent clean properly. And how to clean the drive of DART?

    Can I clean hard drive before installing Dell Windows 7 / as I have heard it is not clean everything properly. So how to clean the hard drive?

    Or can I restore my office before you install Windows 7 in the first place when it's new?

    Kind regards

    Bert Pooler

    Yes, you can restore the State as it was when new...

    Your computer is equipped with a recovery instead of disk partition...

    This is how the recovery partition is accessible to most popular brands...

    For Dell, press CTRL + F11 directly after switching on the device

    You may need to try several times to get everything above to work. If after several attempts, you have no chance, or the machine indicates that there is no recovery partition, your only option is to contact the computer manufacturer and ask for the model recovery discs...

    After the reset, you should get all the updates from Windows Update EXCEPT for hardware devices. Then, you install a good antivirus. ONLY AFTER you have done this, if you replace the stuff of backups or install anything else.

  • I have a Genunine Windows XP (Home edition) installed PC imy. My RAM is 3 GB. Can I upgrade my system Windows Vista withuot spend the extra money?

    The product key for my Windows XP Home Edition is: XXXX-deleted-XXXX. While working in the PC, I get a MESSAGE"blingin on-screen ' OSB LOCKED: I want to know how to stop the message often displayed blinging."

    My second question is can I upgrade my system Windows Vista freely.

    My Hotmail ID of single widows is: [redacted]

    Rigaut

    First of all - do not post in a public forum product keys.

    Second - "OSB LOCKED"... Of course you did not mean "OSD LOCKED?  (a 'd' and not a 'B'...)

    OSD is the "On Screen Display" and has nothing to do with what version of Windows you have - but with yor monitor.  Look here:
    http://www.thefakegeek.com/2009/04/how-to-unlock-an-OSD-lockout-problem/
    http://h30434.www3.HP.com/T5/other-desktop-PC-questions/OSD-locked/TD-p/40291

    Last - is impossible to freely pass your system to Windows Vista.  Windows Vista is a product different from Windows XP and you will need to obtain a license.
