You have "64GB-HD" so there might actually be sufficient

better solution: format disk and install w10 using the w8 serial number

"Upgrade over top" is so the user applications do not
need to be reinstalled.



Yes, I agree. Upgrading over the top rather than doing a clean
installation is the better choice for almost everyone. Here's my
standard post on the subject:

Although many people will tell you that formatting and installing
cleanly is the best way to go, I disagree. Unlike with previous versions
of Windows, when doing an upgrade was often a mistake, an upgrade to
Windows XP or later replaces almost everything, and usually works very well.

The only real exception is when you are having problems; in that
situation, an upgrade often worsens problems, rather than solving them.

My recommendation is to at least try the upgrade, since it's much easier
than a clean installation. You can always change your mind and reinstall
cleanly if problems develop.

However, don't assume that doing an upgrade relieves you of the need to
backup your data, etc. before beginning. Before starting to upgrade,
it's always prudent to recognize that things like a sudden power loss
can occur in the middle of it and cause the loss of everything. For that
reason you should make sure you have backups and anything else you need
to reinstall if the worst happens.
