    Hi, now Im trying to upgrade another windows 8 laptop to Windows 10.

    Only Windows 8.1 can be upgraded (except enterprise edition) not Windows 8.

    1. When I directly click on the DVD from My Computer, I get this error.

    2. When I goto sources > setup and run it manually, then I get this error after 2-3 steps.

    What about your ISO/installation disc?

    It simply means your using the wrong media. Download the 64 bit .iso using the Microsoft tool.

    No, I meant, what is the architecture of the installation disc? Whether it is a x86 or x64 install disc?
    It should be x64 disc. From pic 1, it seems you are using x86 disc.

    Nope, its x64 because I used this same disc for upgrading 3 other systems of mine till yesterday.
    It just doesnt work on this laptop.

    Do I need to upgrade this to Windows 8.1 first ?
