Hey Guys

I have an Acer Aspire V5-573P (I5-4200U, 8GB Ram, 1TB SSHD), and it's currently running Windows 8.1

I earlier last year upgraded to windows 10 and because of a lot of blue screens, I send it to Acer for reparation.

 

They just reinstalled Windows 8.1 and said that the computer doesn't support windows 10...

I don't know why, but I don't feel like that's true as it's a fairly new computer and I'm really considering upgrading again...

What do you guys say?

Clean Installation of Windows 10. And I suggest you to wait till April 11th, because new major Windows 10 Creators Update is getting released. At that time, download the Windows 10 ISO and perform Clean Installation. Don't upgrade from Windows 8/8.1 to Windows 10. Lots of Junks and it will create tons of driver problems.

WD Green 1TB - Seagate 2.5" HDD 1TB - Seagate Barracuda 500GB - Antec X1 E.

Why wouldn't it support Win 10? That's the cool thing about Windows machines.. they should be compatible with all versions of Linux, Windows, etc...

Funny that they don't know this.. Or they want you to buy a new "Windows 10 compatible" laptop from them.

I love Small Form factor ITX rigs.

Pretty sure what they meant to say is that THEY don't support Windows 10 on your laptop.

it probably means THEY don't support win 10 and will not be making drivers for it. but win 10 should support your laptop's hardware. I had a vaio that came with win 8. but sony didnt have drivers for win 10, i upgraded it anyway. everything worked.

I'm not that good with laptops to be honest...

There is no Microsoft key on the back of by computer, but if I do a clean install, how can I activate windows?
Is the code maybe coded into the bios? 

:D

Don't listen to those acer people I'm having a sony laptop bought in 2010 running Windows 7 and it is able to run Windows 10 without any issue. Windows 10 is also supported by way older laptops like check out austin's Windows vs Mac 10 years later video there he compares both macbook and dell laptop from 2006 and Dell laptop came with Windows XP but it is able to run Windows 10 without any issue.

If you already installed Windows 10 on your laptop before then just skip the product key while installation, it should get activated automatically otherwise very rare case is you need to select activate Windows and need to use phone activation.

Stupid people i guess...

They're not stupid. It's marketing. 

 

The laptop you have is not offially "windows 10 compatible" 

 

Of course it is compatible, just not "factory OEM compatible" 

 

Your only miskate was not to clean format. That's all
