Hello
That I would take to where you bought it from.
As you have a license in Volume Windows 8, you are not eligible for the free update for Windows 8.1 or the free update of Windows 10 by the process that you read here.
Two upgrades, to 8.1 and 10, with a Volume License are made through Software Assurance.
See your system administrator.
And Volume License are NOT for individual private use, they are for companies.
If you do not have a system of administration, you can buy a COMPLETE 8.1 or 10 licenses, NOT an upgrade license you have nothing of what is eligible to use a license upgrade...
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
That's why you can not upgrade to 8.1:
"If you are a customer of volume using a KMS or MAK license, you don't have right to the automatic upgrade. If your organization, Software Assurance, you should be able to download the ISO of Windows 8.1 from there as well as the appropriate key.
There are different keys MAK to Windows 8 and Windows 8.1; they are not interchangeable. »
The same applies to Windows 10.
See you soon.

MY DELL LATITUDE D610 HOW CAN I UPGRADE TO THE NEW VERSION OF WINDOWS? NOW IT IS WINDOWS 7, WHAT VERSION IS SUPPORT FOR USE WELL ON MY DEVICE? PLEASE HELP ME
Read this: upgrade Windows 10 Dell Latitude D610
Take a look at my answer, complete instructions.
Basically speaking, Dell officially supports Windows 2000 and Windows XP on Dell Latitude D610 (and other models of Dx10).
However it can really run Windows Vista and 7 at least, as long as you max out the RAM (2 GB, 2 x 1 GB, can be purchased at a great price in eBay) and install the drivers, in particular graphics drivers, look in Device Manager and see what drivers are needed manually.
If you're lucky to have a D610 with ATi graphics card then you can even run Windows 8 and 10 with all drivers available, and I can tell you that it won't be slow dog not unlike a lot of people say, I don't have something similar (a HP Compaq nx8220) in common use. Keep as lean as possible (not bloatwares, anti-virus etc.) system, and it will serve you well.

How can I upgrade to 10 64-bit Windows?
Hello
I have a Travelmate B115-M and I upgraded from Windows Pro 8.1 to Windows 10. The problem is that it automatically upgraded to 10 32-bit Windows. The drivers from the Acer website are all 64 bits. I tried 2 times, the second time, do a clean install, but now I can't go back to 8.1 for Windows because it doesn't show the option anymore.
So, how can I upgrade from Windows 10 32-bit on Windows 64-bit?
Thanks in advance,
John Lewis
Well, finally I've upgraded to 64-bit Windows 10. The solution was to go to the Windows website and choose the option to install on another PC, downloaded the file on a USB key and do a clean install.
Thank you.

Windows sidebar calendar problem, sees nothing except chassis. How can I solve?
Hello SEEN H K,
1. this work was very well at any time before your computer?
I suggest that you try the methods below to resolve this issue:
Method 1:
Open a windows Explorer window and then paste the following text in the address bar:
%LocalAppData%\microsoft\Windows sidebar
This will open the Sidebar gadgets folder, where you should see a file named Settings.ini.
If this is due to recent changes to the computer, I suggest that you do a system restore on your computer.
a. Click Start, type system restore in the search box and then in the list click on the system restore program.
b. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type your password or click on continue.
(c) in the System Restore dialog box, click on choose a different restore point and then click Next.
d. in the list of restore points, click a restore point created before you started having the problem, and then click Next.
e. click Finish.

Hello
So it does not start from the disc, but when you get to the part where it asks me to choose a disk to install Windows, you do not see something here, is that correct? Go to the menu of the Bios (tap button "F2" at startup to access the Bios), then Advanced and check what you show for the SATA/operating Mode option.
