I see now: every time I was trying to click on it to download the upgrade, and it did not, it was just going to the downloaded files x12 times.
Thanks

Back up and disc image, are not the same thing?

In the download folder I found downloaded 12 times the update I was telling you about. By now is already in the update folder though, so I guess I'm...

Could be also that the Servicing stack is to old, or that not having upgraded to W10 yet, W8.1 is not receiving some of the updates properly, at least updates that help upgrade to W10.
I didn't...

Thanks Fink
To upgrade from 8.1 to W10 would be better to disable "secure boot" ? Or so it is suggetsed.
I gather that After disabling Secure Boot and installing other software and hardware, you...

"select the boot device" and "changing the boot order" it seems to me the same thing, unless, and i'm quite sure of it, there was some progress I've been missing.
thanks

I load the boot menu by clicking F1 at start. You mean it will boot from the usb by itself, and no from W8.1 ?
Without changing the boot order?

On this PC- System there is the Product ID that...

thanks JDC, I'm going to use WinCDEmu to mount 8.1 on the 2d ssd drive of 500G. But the flushdrive holding W10 is 30G, but that only to load it on the 1T mechanical HD holding W8.1 I'm using now....

Thank you JDC, I know what The beast can do, and I already have what I need on a UBS key, and 10 on another, seeming to start up at boot. The original product key ready just in case.

Thank you for answering, as I'm planning to upgrade from W8.1 to W10 (forced to do it from MS)
I understand it would be better to have drivers and BIOS updated, in order to minimize problems.
As...

before W10 upgrade is important to upgrade all System drivers, BIOS (the latter is from 2015) so not to encounter problems, and often I did so every time I upgraded W.
