Split from this thread.

There is no upgrade path from Vista to Windows 10.

You have to clean install 10.


And you have to buy Windows 10 as Vista was never part of Microsoft's free upgrade offer.

That was from 7 and 8/8.1 retail and OEM licenses only.

First thing to do is to make sure that you have the correct system requirements and that your Computer Manufacturer supplies the correct Drivers for 10 for your Model Number.

If you read those Microsoft's system requirements for 10, you will find that if you only go on them you will be sadly disappointed in performance.

You should at least double what they say.

Okay Bill, thank you for that answer. I have another one. I have a very dead 2 in 1 that ran Windows10 nicely. A flood took it and most of my belongings. I have bought a laptop that is running Windows Vista. Is there a way (short of suicide), to use the Windows10 info and migrate it to my laptop. I really need this to happen. Thanks again
