Rufus - Create bootable USB drives the easy way Use Rufus to transfer the ISO file to a USB flash drive and install W10 in EFI mode. You can also try this if you need to clean install W10.ĭownload the W10 64 bit ISO file instead of making the bootable USB drive with the Media creation tool. If you clean install W10 (you may have no choice if the in-place upgrade fails), then you will have to try and activate W10 by using the W7 product key on your PC's case. The reason that would be the best way to do it is because W10 will be automatically activated after you are connected to the internet. That's how I updated both of mine from W7 to W10 way back when. Have you tried simply doing an in-place upgrade from W7 to W10 by clicking on the blue Update Now button at the link below? They have a UEFI BIOS but do not have a Secure Boot setting. Hi, have 2 HP 8200 Elite CMT's both currently running on Windows 11.
