    With Windows 8, Microsoft has changed from stickers that have the product key that the user has to type in when installing the operating system to new BIOS embedded product keys. The idea is that by eliminating the sticker, you eliminate one of the easier ways for nefarious users to get a legitimate product key. Eliminating the product key sticker also removes any worry that the sticker might get damaged while at the same time eliminating the long and irritating process of typing in various letters and numbers when installing the operating system.
     
     
    If the user has to reinstall the operating system on a machine that came with Windows 8, the installation process automatically grabs the software product key from the motherboard BIOS with no input from the user. This means that those familiar Windows product key stickers will no longer appear on the Windows 8 computers.

    If your PC doesn’t meet the system requirements or includes incompatible hardware, it means you won’t be able to upgrade your PC to Windows 10.
    How are you trying to upgrade? Are you using windows updates? You might give this a try!

    Hi there! I realize this is a old thread; but if your clicking on it, it wasn't answered.?? Here's some things you might try.
    I'm trying to answer some old threads that weren't answered! This was taken from  MS link!
    We recommend you to check if the system time is set correctly in BIOS (Basic Input/output System) and check correct the time settings on Windows.
    Step 1: Correct the BIOS time and date settings
    a. See question "How do I access my computer's BIOS?"
    b. Correct the time and date
    c. Save the settings and exit from BIOS.
    Note: Be careful when changing BIOS settings. The BIOS interface is designed for advanced users, and it's possible to change a setting that could prevent your computer from starting correctly.
    Step 2: Set the clock and synchronize your computer clock with an Internet time server
    a. See Set the clock

    Note: If your time zone observes daylight saving time and you want your computer's clock to be adjusted automatically when daylight saving time changes, make sure the Automatically adjust clock for Daylight Saving Time check box is selected.
    Step 3: If the issue persists, run Microsoft fix it and check the result
    a. See Common system maintenance tasks
    b. Click Run now button and run the tool successfully.
    c. Restart the computer and check if the issue persists.
