What 10 are you installing?

I've run into folk that want to install the "free" Windows 10 but there is no free version. There is that upgrade version but to do that we need a working installed 7 to 8.1 OS working. AFTER that is working there are tutorials on clean installing 10.

But I can't tell which 10 you have. Did you buy it? Or not?

you don't have to worry about partitioning. It will take over what is being upgrade. Just make sure the Hdd. has enough free space.
