If you mean doing the upgrade after July 2016, no. You won't be able to activate Win 10.

Just finished updating to Win 10 for both my desktop and laptop... For desktop is smooth.. while for the laptop, the OS is abit choppy, especially when moving the mouse.

Anyone has this issue? Not sure if its because of the laptop hardware (i3, 4GB RAM, 500GB HDD) or other issues. A colleague of mine has the same issue too.

Do we able to clean install instead of upgrade?

Do we able to clean install instead of upgrade?

Yeap, you can do a clean install.

Do we able to clean install instead of upgrade?

No. Meaning you have to upgrade first and ensure that it's activated. After that, you may do a clean install.

Can I perform a clean install using the Free upgrade?
No, it will require that you are running a previous qualifying version and start the upgrade from within the qualifying version. You can initiate a clean install after completing the Upgrade.

Please be aware that you cannot use the free upgrade offer to perform a clean install on first attempt. You must first upgrade from the qualifying version of Windows 7 or Windows 8/8.1 (whether you do it through Windows Update or using the .ISO file). Ensure the upgrade is completed successfully and then ensure that it is activated. You can then proceed to do a clean install by using recovery media or using the Reset function in Start > Settings > Update & Security > Recovery > Reset this PC (Get Started).
