    USB Based Installation

    The OS is installed from a USB drive. The license number is on a small card and easy to read. Being installed with a USB thumb drive, installation proceeds more quickly than from the days of CD installation.

    I had laptop stolen and was retrieved. All the data erased. I was able to restore windows 8. I could not get anything going without windows 10. Once I purchased it installation was a breeze. Laptop up and running

    This operating system was necessary after my hard drive failed. After installation and use of the alpha numeric key I still had to upgrade to the newest version of windows 10. A long process but all is fixed. Necessary to run the OS.

    Updated old computer

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Had an old computer that was planning on giving to my nephew for his birthday. It had crashed a while back and ended up needing a new hard drive. With the new hard drive, it would not connect to the internet and I couldn't figure out why. It was easier for me to get a new computer than to deal with that "mess" at the time. My nephews birthday was coming up and he is at the age and grade in school where they are going to be using computers more and more so I updated it with Windows 10 from Windows 7 and gave it to my nephew. He was stoked! I'm sure right now he is only playing games on it but the hard drive should last him a good long time and with Windows 10 the possibilities are endless.

    Its a handy retail version of Windows 10(can be reused if need to do motherboard upgrade or other) that comes on a thumb drive. The price is slightly high but I needed something right away and it was in stock at the store.

    basic Windows 10 OS. Easy to install if you are familiar with file systems. If not, recommend you have an experienced person like someone at Best Buy do the installation.

    It’s familiar, but still a noticeable upgrade from Windows 7. Solid aesthetics, very easy to install. Great for the individual who doesn’t feel comfortable with Linux or MacOS.
