Installing Windows 10 from windows vista
I have a Dell Inspiron 531, we have been using it for years, however over the last couple of years we have not used it. It has windows vista installed I am wanting to upgrade it to Windows 10. So I took a hard drive that had windows 10 on it and installed just to make sure everything would work with the hardware and all. Everything did work just fine.
I have downloaded the windows 10 iso and I have a windows 10 product key that I can use for it. I created the dvd to install it with however the computer will not boot with the dvd. I created it on a different computer and with the one I am wanting to upgrade. Every time I try to boot from dvd it says there is no boot device available. There is no potions in bios to boot from usb. any ideas on how to get this to work?
Ist dies eine gute Frage?

Hopefully you used something like "Image Writer" and not just copied the ISO to the DVD because if you did copy it ain't going to work that way. :-)
Edit: Also make the USB or DVD on the Dell Inspiron 531 and not a newer computer to avoid UEFI complications.
Some computers will still boot from USB even if it is not an option displayed in the bootup menu on computers. Might want to have a look at the following link:

Might want to check out his (Dr Philip Yip) other Windows 10 installing tutorials too (includes installing from DVD as well)

@propman I created the dvd on both computers the way I always have burn image. I will have to look at the links tomorrow and try again. I’ll update when I try this.
