Dec 29, 2015 9:16 AM in response to techackby Loner T,1. You can execute an in-place upgrade from W8.1 to W10 - Use Windows 10 on your Mac with Boot Camp - Apple Support .
2. W8.1 should be fully activated and Windows Update should be run. Skip all Driver updates during Windows Update.
3. Create good backups of OSX and Windows.
4. You can download the ISO for W10 from https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/home .
5. After the upgrade and full activation of W10 your Mac is registered with Microsoft, in some instances, a clean installation of W10 may be required. There have been some cases of Windows Update pushing WHQL drivers to Macs which cause problems. It is recommended that you disconnect from the network while upgrading and create a Windows System Restore point before you allow Windows Update to make changes. In most cases, WHQL drivers should eb avoided.
