Download Windows 10 ISO File

Hello people, I am now writing using Edge but my screen resolution is tiny because the Win Update now brings me my GPU driver. :)

- Yes, it updates automatically on its own after the Upgrade, as long as you have an internet connection. I did not have -because I always install all my drivers manually and in a specific order- but it activated immediately after the connection was established. To be sure though I used Syperfly's utility to save my product key, thank you Superfly!

- For me, clean installation means to delete all the volumes + partitions of my SSD and make it an unallocated drive. Then I install everything the way I want.

See you later with a few of my first impressions... Hint: driver update?! Are you kidding me? Better get all your drivers in advance, especially the crucial ones like INF, IME, AHCI...

You are welcome Joanne

However, you will not necessarily require a key for reinstallation (won't make a difference using it tho') - see my explanation here, hope it makes sense.

I posted this question elsewhere in a different way. but I can't find it now.

What I am confused on. Can you use the media creation tool to upgrade to windows 10 and it activate? Totally by-passing the gwx applications? As I said in the other post, I am having issues with gwx and windows update freezing. I restored from am image backup and I am going to try using Gwx again and hope it works. I know Microsoft is supposed to come out with an iso image that you can use to upgrade to windows 10 but don't know when they will post those.

Hello Groze,

Yes you can. :)

Can I reinstall Windows 10 on my computer after upgrading with free upgrade?

Once you’ve upgraded to Windows 10 using the free upgrade offer or Media Creation Tool on an activated Windows 7 or 8.1 PC, you will be able to reinstall, including a clean install, on the same device. You won’t need a product key for re-activations on the same hardware. If you make a meaningful change to your hardware, you may need to contact customer support to help with activation. You’ll also be able to create your own installation media like a USB drive or DVD, and use that to upgrade your device or reinstall after you’ve upgraded.

You're most welcome. :)

Yeah, I tried that. Wouldn't happen, hence the ISO download. Currently at 65%

If it won't go over my 10162-on-8.1 setup, I'll roll-back to 8.1 and try again.

EDIT: It wouldn't, so I will. Well, it would, but only as a clean install.

That's not an option, as I've no intention of re-installing 150gb of programs and
games for what will still, essentially, be a trial version.

Well, it actually turned-out to be a corrupted download - re-downloaded the ISO, and let it install while I was in town shopping this morning.

Got back home, and it was good to go. Kept all my settings and tweaks, everything seems to work so far...

Oh sorry it was already answered i believe

Hello VBs,

Yes, you should be able to as long as it's the same edition. :)

Hello dilpazir, and welcome to Ten Forums.

Yes, you will need a product key to activate it on another computer.
