I am planning on doing a clean install of Windows 8.1 retail version, from a disc on my Kaby Lake build. My goal is to update to Windows 10 that was downloaded on my last system, that I received during the free upgrade period onto this new build. However, almost everything I've read says it won't allow you to update... So, does that mean I can't download the Windows 10 upgrade through the Microsoft update depository once I have Windows 8.1 installed?
I know there are a million forms about this out there. However, they are not worded like this and I would like to help make it more simple for someone like myself that would be doing the same thing. Notice I included my AMD friends as well!
PS: My backup plan is to download an image of Windows 10 and just use my product key as it was used to upgrade me to it anyway from my last PC build. However, I would like to avoid going down this route if I can.
