Unable to install windows 10

[big.rich1976]

Hi all,


I originally had windows 8.1 installed on my machine and i upgraded to 10 when the free upgrade came out, now my windows installation is corrupt and need to reinstall. I have created the recovery USB but i seem to be unable to install windows 10 straight onto my machine, do i need to install windows 8 first and then use the USB stick to upgrade to windows 10?


Kind Regards

Ahhh OK, That's a problem. I seem to have misplaced my windows 8 disk. Thanks for getting back to me.

When i go to "reset my pc" it starts looking for a recovery partition etc, and cant find it. I can get hold of another Windows 8 disk so will need to do that.

Cheers
Richard
