moderated Re: Question regarding installing a new installation of Windows 8/8.1
Hi, Actually, one can upgrade from Windows 7 to 8/8.1 through an in-place upgrade unless the product key is for a different edition. I concur with Brian: Windows 8.1 support ends in 2023, and beyond that point, Windows 10 is the way to go. This begs the question: did your friend tell you their reasons for not upgrading to Windows 10 for free? Cheers, Joseph

There is no upgrade path from Windows 7 to Windows 8, and never has been. It must be installed from scratch, and you must acquire a license key for it. Brian - Windows 10 Pro, 64-Bit, Version 1909, Build 18363 The purpose of education is not to validate ignorance but to overcome it.
