So I took my laptop (a Lenovo Yoga 2 pro) in to best buy after it had water spilled on it. They said they'd fix it under warranty and I left it with them. A few days later I came to pick it up, but with only one problem. I gave them the laptop with windows ten as it was installed during the free upgrade period. I got the laptop back with windows 8. Best buy basically said tough titties and told me they couldn't do anything. Would I be able to install windows 10 to it with no problem, or would I have to buy a copy. I heard you can install it and use the windows 8 key it came with. What does everyone think?

Anyway because it's Windows 10 you also have a digital license which is linked with your account.
