Upgrading Anytime upgrade to Windows 10
Ok. We have four laptops in the house. I only want to upgrade our son's Fizzbook Spin to Windows 10 and keeping the others on Windows 7.
The Fizzbook Spin came with Windows 7 starter. Rather than do a clean install of Windows 7 Home Premium, I did any anytime upgrade which has its own licence key. (The reason for this is you can't get hold of the drivers for the quirky educational software it comes with and the upgrade went smoothly and improved its performance no end).
So my question is - can I do an upgrade to Windows 10. We have not received the upgrade icon but I have a copy of Windows 10 32 bit burned to usb drive. As I understand it, if you haven't already downloaded the Windows 10 upgrade (thereby registering your computer with microsoft) you can install from the dvd/usb but need your Windows 7 Product Key to be able to register/activate Windows 10.
Does anyone know if this will work with an anytime upgrade of Windows 7 Home Premium please? And also which product key do I use? The original Windows Starter one, or the Windows Anytime Upgrade one? (Which is not described as a Product Key but as an upgrade key).
I can't do a clean install for the same reasons as above - wouldn't be able to get the touch screen and so on working again. Thanks!
Either that or could I just find somewhere to download the Windows 10 upgrade?
In case you're not aware of the Fizzbook spin, it's a 10" netbook with an Atom processor, similar to an Eee PC (might even be an Eee Pc with added software) and has a package of Intel educational software, a touch screen and pen.
