Does my Windows 8.1 key works on a Windows 10 + Slow startup
Here's the thing. Since 2 weeks, my computer started booting really slowing. When I open my laptop, the samsung logo appears, after that, I am getting a black screen and I have to wait about 3-5 minutes. I have a SSD that I bought last month and everything was fine since last week. So I was planning on reinstalling my Windows 10 from scratch (I previously made an update from 8.1 and kept all my files/programs). My question is: Is there a way to install Windows 10 directly without having to pass from 8.1 ? If I do so, will my Windows 8.1 key works or do I have to reinstall Windows 8.1 and make an update from there because my key will only work for 8.1 ? It's a key for Windows 8.1 Professional I got from DreamSpark.
Thanks in advance!
