Reinstalling W10 on old Lenovo all in one.
One of my friends has an old Lenovo all in one pc which originally had W7 home and was later upgraded to W10 via the free Microsoft offer. It still has the W7 label with the product key on the rear. Unfortunately, the 500Gb HDD is showing signs of impending failure and as he doesn't have anything vital on the pc, a simple change to a better hard drive with a clean install would be best. My 1Tb Seagate which came with my laptop has only 44 hours on it despite being 6 years old as I replaced it with a Samsung SSD shortly after buying it. The drive got used as a backup in an external case, but is surplace to requirements. I suspect that the drive in the pc is a 3.5, but I have an adaptor frame for the 2.5 if necessary.
To save the bother of starting with W7, I would like to use a new ISO of W10 for the install, but am unsure of the product key needed for the W10. I,m sure the fix is easy, please advise.
