Hm, I wonder why I had no problems upgrading a 7 year old laptop, it must be special.

I tried to check my drivers via Dell's website and the auto-detect. Funny thing is they said my PC was not "qualified" to get win10. Microsoft says my PC is qualified hence i got the invite.

I wonder if it's because I forced the upgrade via the media creation tool instead of waiting until is pushed out to me? It may be connected why when trying a clean install, it wouldn't recognize my serial key at the bottom of the laptop. (That serial worked on a win7 only clean-install vs. the manufacturers image with all the crap-ware).

You have to upgrade before you do a clean install, upgrade will get registered with Microsoft and then you can do a clean install. Your old serial key will not work.
