Preform a backup of your old drive, go for the free upgrade, use magicaljellybean to find your windows 10 key, format, and install windows 10 fresh. Mine works flawlessly.

do i need to deactivate the 8.1 key or just leave it be?

 

its nice and its new

thx for the feedback

Only if ALL the drivers of you components are out / compatible, and even if they are, do a backup / ghost before the upgrade

im going to get all my private data off and do a fresh install.

If you preform the 8.1 to 10 upgrade, your key changes. So gran the new key using magicaljellybean, and then that key can be used to reinstall windows 10 without preforming an upgrade. by doing this, you shouldnt run into driver conflicts that come with an upgrade
