Windows 10

[Gaming_Ron]

to start of I was gonna submit my topic then "error we do not have access to your account" appeared omayG then boom it erased all the things that i wrote 

*sigh I already wrote a lot there.. so lets begin again ( I could not back it  ) please bear with me because im so tired of typing

so first of all is im planing to buy a new gaming pc

my budget is very low for a full rig with an os (btw my budget is $500)

So what im asking here is can i have windows 10 as my first os for my pc ?

I would not like to buy an windows 7 or 8.1 os because it would be very expensive for me and I would be out of buget (btw i have an windows 7 here at home but its only 32 bit and 32 bit sucks because it can only handle like 3.5 gb ram.. could i upgrade it in to 64 bit then to windows 10??

since windows 10 is now free ?? is it possible to do it by not upgrading?? or putting it as an first os?? 

if you guys are curious in what im going to buy i will be buying..

i3-6100 (stock heatsink)

Asrock z170m Pro4s

8GB Gskill Ram (2 sticks)

WD Blue HDD 1TB

EVGA 600B PSU

MSI GTX 950

(i will only be playing dota and csgo) btw guys do i really need 600 PSU?

tnx a lot guys and i would appreciate it if you reply

sorry if bad english..

You get windows 10 for free if you own a windows 7 license.

yes, thats what i did to my desktop

win 7 32-bit to win 10 64-bit

you can do a clean install of windows 10 64-bit and enter the product key (please do not show it to any one)

and it should work just fine, if it prompts you to enter again after it finishes setup (it does sometimes) enter it again and you'll be golden

decent build,

could probably get away with 500B but i recommend more reliable psu nonetheless

also, dont need z170 board, can get cheaper board since the i3 cant be overclocked

Since the only games you play are CS:GO and Dota the cheapest option might be to install Ubuntu Linux. Linux is not for everybody but at that budget it seems to make sense. You can use Ubuntu for a while and if you don't like it save up and buy Windows. I currently use Fedora Linux to play Steam games but I have used Ubuntu Linux in the past and it works great! I am suggesting Ubuntu because it is a little easier than Fedora to work with.

So my current pc got destroyed (wont turn on) and it had windows 7 in it anyway what im trying to say here is my old computer that had windows 7 didnt have a windows 10 notification update .. But i think it didnt have a notification because i didnt update the os? Or software update? Or my old pc was too crappy for windows 10??

Old pc specs

intel petinum E5700

Asrock g31m-v2

DDR2 1GB Ram :'(

550w PSU not sure if legit

435 GB Hitachi HDD

this pc already used for 5 years and now it wont turn on because of Hard Drive failure..

Anyway appreciate your reply

Thanks but no.. I would not like to have linux in my system for some reasons. I would rather have pirated windows hehe.. Other people said linux would crash and bad for other stuff..

anyways tnx for the suggestion

make a usb boot device using media creation tool from microsoft

then plug the usb into the computer and install windows

laptop = sticker underneath or inside the cover, its 25 words, XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX, please do not show anyone the product key

Thank you very much for answering sir moonzy 

So first thing that I should do is Put my windows 7 32 bit os in my new gaming pc i have an old optical drive btw.. So is that correct? I read your suggested motherboard and it says win 8.1 and win 10 compatible, will it be compatible with win 7 too? I didnt see any win 7 there o_o

Btw sir moonzy are you saying that i only need a product key to upgrade to win 8.1/10 64 bit? I saw my product key and I think its already been used in my old gaming pc (i think...) can i reuse it? Btw your recommended motherboard was pretty awesome I actually liked it and its much cheaper.. Thank you very much

it should be, but i cant give you the clear answer

you should be able to as long as the other computer isnt powered on at all, using two device with the same product key at the same time will cause microsoft to blacklist that product key, making it invalid

 

also, if you're already installing windows 7, you can just upgrade without re-installing windows

though i wouldnt recommend it since the old windows 7 will take up a huge chunk of your hdd space
