Solve : Delete Windows 8 and install Windows 10?

Answer» <html><body><p>Please let me know if these questions need to be posted elsewhere.<br/> I have an older laptop with Windows 8, and my intentions are to update to Windows 10. Im not savvy with computers and/or the terminology used, so please bare with me. Due to my lack of knowledge Im somewhat skeptical and paranoid about computers.<br/> I use my laptop, with the internet, for very basic functions compared to most Im sure. Some of the following I use are;  Wordpad, emails, information searches, just a few forums such as this one, news updates (including some video clips), also sometimes I will plug my phone up to put pictures on my <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/computer-243299" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about COMPUTER">COMPUTER</a> for various reasons, and thats about it. I dont do any constant videos, games, <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/music-1379" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about MUSIC">MUSIC</a>, etc...<br/>I <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/want-1448756" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about WANT">WANT</a> to first create an original backup of my Windows 8, and everything with it using a usb flash drive, then I want to completely wipe out everything and install a version of Windows 10 as basic as possible.<br/>1) Does it sound like Im on the right path so far...suggestions ?<br/>2) Does someone offer a completely safe, and very basic version of Windows 10 ?<br/>3) Is it more safe to purchase/order a physical backup of windows, rather than download from the internet ?<br/>4) If possible, I dont want to download any versions with several advertisements, or other applications that I will never use, hence question 2.<br/>These are all of the questions that I can think of for now, but Im sure there will be more.<br/>Thanks A full backup of Win8 to a flash drive or an external is a good idea...i've <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/seen-1199302" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about SEEN">SEEN</a> many people wipe their drives saying "oh there's nothin i need"...then regretting it later.<br/>I would suggest Macrium Reflect or Easus to go for the backup...both have Free versions.<br/><br/>After that just use the Media Creator Tool to get the latest ver. of Win 10...it's still Free also so anyone who says you have to pay don't listen to.<br/><br/>After the backup has been done there is no reason to wipe the drive...just run the Win 10 setup...<br/><br/>Best of luck and let us know how you get on...Just wanted to say that If you have a <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/perfectly-2921585" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about PERFECTLY">PERFECTLY</a> valid windows 8 key, you should be ale to clean install windows 10 for free with it.<br/><br/>Your valid key would be converted into a digital key for windows 10 that is associated with your pc allowing you to reinstall windows 10 as many times as you like with said key.<br/><br/>See here: <a href="https://www.howtogeek.com/266072/you-can-still-get-windows-10-for-free-with-a-windows-7-8-or-8.1-key/">https://www.howtogeek.com/266072/you-can-still-get-windows-10-for-free-with-a-windows-7-8-or-8.1-key/</a> It's best to leave the 8 install in place...then the info is automatically entered...Just sayin.Thanks for all the help.<br/>So hopefully soon Im going to try and perform a usb backup on my older Windows 8 laptop with all my saved favorites.<br/>I dont know if this might help but I have a new laptop with Windows 10, and Im going to be starting another thread about that one, but was wondering if I would somehow be better off to copy the new computer Windows 10 to the old one, or if thats possible <br/>No...get a fresh DLoad from where i said above...</p></body></html>
