For drivers Windows 10 doesn’t have inbuilt it often obtains them automatically via Windows Update. Let me give an example.

One of the most common ones is the Intel Management Engine Interface driver that Windows 10 installs is old version To check the version right click the start button and then left click Device Manager.

Try without the docking station I have the same configuration and it works. I haven’t tested my docking station out with Windows 10 yet. I have dell laptop, recently upgraded windows 10 and its in reboot loop. Unfortunately I don’t have windows 8 recovery disk also by default dell doesn’t provide the product key. Can I download windows 10 and do clean install? Does it prompt for product key. Any suggestions. Also any links to download the recovery disk.

Since I’m out of warranty dell asking me 30 pounds for recovery disc. Thanks Philip the article is useful and I’m able to get my product key using RW. Be careful with the order you do things in Rufus follow the order listed as settings sometimes revert.

I tried steps and it worked like charm, I’m back windows 8. Many Thanks. Will try windows 10 upgrade now after disabling the NVidia GeForce card. Had an enter cd key screen on install, skipped this then reached desktop, states not activated, and under the error code box mentioned something about this key has been blocked or some such. Did i miss something? If you are doing clean install then it won’t work as wimdows10 doesn’t seem to accept windows 7 or 8 key.

The only way is to get reinstalled windows 8 and check it’s activated and then do upgrade to windows Note Windows needs installed with a Microsoft Account and activated. The tool gives you the option to update this PC or to make recovery media… Also I signed in with the Microsoft Account during Installation of …. There is no option to select the partition to install Windows 10 on via the upgrade it upgrades your existing Windows partition.

As I Had problems with HDD on my Dell XPS LX windows 7 home premium OA I have done clean install of you windows 10 build which is activated now While trying to update to following the above instruction USB created and updates are installed windows 10 setup asks me to enter a product key I have tried the one you gave for windows 10 build … and original windows 7 home premium OA but none of those product keys worked.

I assume this is my OEM Win10 key? Will this key differ from my original Win8 key? How does this differ to using your clean install methods?

Do I have the option of changing my motherboard while using the same key? I was planning to salvage most of the hardware into a new case for some upgrades, including a new motherboard. I’m still unsure of whether I can re-use my OEM key on a new motherboard. For Windows 8 and Windows 8. You just couldn’t change the language within Windows using a Language Pack i.

The Single Language Edition is silly in my opinion and I was hoping Microsoft would drop it and merge it with the main Edition unfortunately they didn’t. Having 2 Language Editions of English is also silly as they are the same language.

Likely its the same with Windows 10 as there are also Windows 10 generic installation keys. I haven’t tested a cross-single language upgrade however this might give product activation issues… I don’t think it will but don’t have a Single Language OEM license not upgraded to test with. The easiest way to distinguish if you are using proper English is to right click a blank area on the Desktop.

If the context menu has personalise spelt correctly with a “s” you are fortunate enough to have English UK installed. On the other hand if it says personalize and is spelt incorrectly with a “z” you have the misfortune of having English US installed. You don’t have a Windows 10 key as the new activation mechanism is keyless… and although Windows 10 installation media will ask for a product key it won’t accept Windows 8 keys.

You must initially upgrade, when you upgrade your systems hardware profile is submitted to a Microsoft Product Activation server and is classified as a Windows 10 Device. Berlarc Advisor will report a generic product key which has no value.

Once a Device has became a Windows 10 Device, Windows 10 may be clean reinstalled by skipping all prompts for the product key and will automatically reactive when online provided the correct Edition is selected.

Failure to initially upgrade will mean that your device is not registered as a Windows 10 Device and you will experience product activation issues. This guide stresses this in great detail but as you have already upgraded its not a concern for you. If you have upgraded then your recovery media created with Alienware Respawn will be for the factory image Windows 8 and not for Windows Its possible however to clean reinstall, then install all the drivers and software you want and make a pseudo factory image.

The free version of Dell Backup and Recovery Alienware Respawn is a little limited and if Microsoft continues to provide up to date installation media, there becomes little use in a factory image. Windows 10’s activation mechanism scans the device, if it recognises the hardware profile motherboard it will reactivate, if it doesn’t it won’t activate and prompt you to buy Windows Thank you so much for your reply!

Turns out mine came shipped with the US edition, and I’m from Malaysia. So in a way, it is ‘disconnecting’ the ‘relationship’ of my hardware and Windows 10 right? Or just downright no way, I have to stick with my Alienware motherboard? It will remain a Windows 10 Single Language device even if you revert back to Windows 8. There is however an indirect way of getting the free upgrade… The Windows Insider Build Essentially you have to install it and activate it by the end of the month as it expires.

You can then use it to get Windows 10 Pro for free which won’t expire. Just to make sure that I understand. I got through a clean Insider Build and got it activated to Windows Now I am not under any time restraint to get to Windows 10 Pro by the end of the month?
