    With Windows 8.1 you can either:

    a) upgrade to windows 10:

    b) clean install to windows 10:

    https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10

    If you want to upgrade instead of clean install then make sure that you uninstall any of these non-Microsoft software:
    a) antivirus
    b) firewall
    c) drive encryption

    If you have important files it is always best to make free or pay backup images before an upgrade:
    Examples are:
    Acronis
    Aoemi
    EaseUS
    Macrium
    Paragon

    Hi @cindy saide

    Yes, you can download Windows 10 latest version 21H1. You can use the Update assistance tool to update to Windows 10 .

    If the above tool is throwing out an error uninstall all non-Microsoft software. You can also try the clean install to update to windows 10.
