  • Went for an Inspiron with an i5 they had an offer of.

    I’m going to upgrade the storage immediately to save fading later transferring data, what’s the deal these days with windows? I presume I’ll have to create an installer usb key but then how do you verify windows, will it come with a code with the laptop?

    I’m a Mac w*nker and it’s been so long since I’ve actually installed windows on a machine I’ve no idea how Microsoft deals with this anymore..

  • Did you get the extra 8% off with vouchercodes8? If not, maybe not too late to cancel and reorder?

  • Pretty sure the machine knows which OEM license it came with now so you don't need to bother with codes. If it asks then the code will be on a sticker on the underside of the laptop.

    So go to
    https://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/software-download/windows10

    and follow the instructions - it'll put the install media on a USB key. Boot off that, click next a dozen times and about 10mins later you'll have a fresh copy of Win10 Home.

    It's extremely simple now
