I would reinstall Windows 8, then upgrade.

 

You can do a clean install of Windows 10 but it requires you to have already upgraded the PC in question prior.

You can buy a key from microsoft themselves for 140$ for the 64-bit Pro version I believe

             I have windows 8, I just wanna do a fresh install here rather then update to windows 10 thingie cuz it won't let me, all kinds of software issues, so I just wanna do a fresh install of windows 10 on this PC, b ecause I already have windows 8, so I wanna know how to get the license key for it since I'm going to do a fresh install on a WIN 8 pc.

        I'm just trying ot make it a little less complicated to understand.   I downloaded the install manager from microsoft.com. I couldn't install it because this PC just wouldnt' let me(I tried to fix, forget it). I'm running win 8 so I should get windows 10 for free, but I don't know how to install it as a fresh install without having to find a license key. How will I know the license key, because I wouldn't need a 140$ key or even a 0.01$ key(fake).. because I have windows 8.. so what do I do? Please help.

           That was my idea, I wasn't going to, but so be it, I will. Thanks.
