1: Make sure the website isn’t restricted

If you’ve tried purchasingWindows 10from the web store and the error occurred, there are some things you can do. Firstly, make sure that you’re in a region which allows purchases. The second concern we need to eliminate is a possible restriction on the website. Make sure that your system isn’t blocking the download firstly.

Furthermore, we suggest disabling the online protection temporarily. Especially if the security tool comes with the firewall of its own. Disable browser extensions as well. You can enable them later on. After that, try accessing the link again. If the problem is persistent — don’t worry. There are alternative ways to get your hands onWindows 10installation.

2: Use the Windows Upgrade Assistant

Let’s get to alternatives. The first Microsoft’s tool is fully automatized and it even allows you to installWindows 10directly from your desktop. It’s a simple procedure and it even provides the compatibility check to determine your system (Windows 7 or 8) is eligible for an upgrade toWindows 10. The complete process is intuitive but can be lengthy.

3: Use the Media Creation Tool to upgrade directly

Microsoft’s main tool for digital distribution ofWindows 10is theMedia Creation Tool. This tool allows you to upgrade toWindows 10directly from the UI or create anexternal bootable driveand installWindows 10in a standard manner.

The first way to upgrade toWindows 10 with the Media Creation Toolincludes directinstallation. The downloaded setup files are stored in the system partition and the upgrade starts immediately. You even get to keep the files from the previous (current) systeminstallation.

4: Create a bootable media drive with the Media Creation Tool

Finally, the safest and the best way to installWindows 10is with abootablemedia drive. Especially aclean installationwhich includes formatting your HDD completely.

Lots of issues we covered here in a last couple of years were there because users have chosen upgrade over a cleaninstallation. On paper, both stand firm. But, in practice, the problems emerge. Especially with the third-party programs, driver, and after major updates.

For that reason, we suggest creating theinstallationmedia and installingWindows 10cleanly. The license is directly connected to your Microsoft Account you made the purchase with. So, just a simple log-in will activateWindows 10upon theinstallationis completed.
