So, title is pretty stupid and doesn't explain the case that is- But let me explain exactly what I mean.
Short story:
So, right before Windows 10 wouldn't be free anymore I got my self together and downloaded Windows 10 and installed it and so on.
Now, some months later I had a major virus "attack(?)" on my pc which corrupted my entire SSD (where my OS was installed) ...to the point where it would not even boot up any hard drives to that point.
So, I had to format and do a bunch of stuff in order to get my stuff back online. But what I did not take into consideration is that I have not "bought" windows 10, only Windows 8.1 on disk.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Question:
1) Can I somehow get Windows 10 for free again since I had it once?
2) If that's not possible, then what about a digital code that could grant me access to Windows 10 Upgrade again? Like if I buy it on a site so I don't have to go out and buy new CD's and reformat my entire system once again.
The reason why I want Windows 10 is only because of the Windows Store, or whatever they call it. I bought Forza Horizons 3 for Windows, but what I didn't know was that it would only be available for Windows 10.
