Hello again, I've been pretty busy these days, and even taking care of one of my sick family members
Guys around January of this year (2017), I have ran into trouble with Windows 10 Professional 64 Bit 
It was an actual upgrade from Windows 7 Professional 64 bit, which I opted in and signed up for it so when
the time came around to get the actual free upgrade, but i have ran into trouble, the system works just as fine
but my internet has been screwed up while being active on the system. And been running Windows 7 Professional 64-bit.
which i have to use F8 everytime i start my PC to boot Windows 7 instead. which has became a true pain.. Is there some kind of way
i can install the upgrade on the USB Thumb Drive (I own 64GB from SanDisk) and i had researched and ran into problems trying to 
install the upgrade on my current booted Windows 7 Professional install. I tried to install the update, but got an error about not having
any partition on the hard drive, and i am very scared to create one on the drives i have no i fear i will lose everything, because i have
no clue if it would reformat it killing everything. Can i use my Thumb Drive as partition, so i could boot it from there, but really dont 
want to reinstall all my games and other things, i hope it'll be just like when i first got the upgrade on day one, how i feared it would have
deleted everything and have Windows 10 but with everything gone but, all we're still there. I am building a new computer in a few months
I have almost everything now.

Also instead of creating a new topic of using a USB Thumb Drive to install Windows 10 Professional 64-bit
And i have so many bills, and I don't don't want to add any more duration waiting  purchasing  the disk, i was wondering if i could legally
download the Retail/OEM edition, and just install it via USB Drive (Another one 32GB Drive) instead of buying the DVD because it could

save me tons of money to buy more SSD drives. But not sure about it, because i am building the system for the first time when i build 

the system. Any advice on this? 

Also i applogize about my sloppy post, it crap and so many errors, everytime i try to post i screw up and my topic won't save :( having to keep re-writing my thread... i fear of going back to edit because i dont want to start writing this post for the 900th time. Thanks for understanding and thanks in advance!

download a windows 10 ISO from the Microsoft website (64 bit)

rufus it onto a USB (8gb+)

boot using the USB, format, install

 

dont forget to migrate your windows key to your Microsoft account

The Microsoft website.

 

Use Rufus to create a bootable USB drive. (with the windows 10 iso)

 

Dont forget to migrate your windows key to your Microsoft account.
