    Depends on whether you wish to remain in the Insider program.

    I chose to exit the program, so I had to restore 8.1 (from a drive image) and install 10 as an upgrade over that. I downloaded a fresh copy of the upgrader as an .iso. The upgrade doesn't require a key, and you won't receive one. there's a link here as to how to get the .iso:

    Microsoft Delivers Windows 10 on ISO - Thurrott.com

    here is the MS link:

    Windows 10

    Incidentally, once you have installed and activated the upgrade once, you can clean install the free upgrade on the same hardware and it'll activate.

    The "N" versions are for Europe, where MS has agreed not to bundle some multimedia components.
