Laptop Reset to factory defaults after Windows 10 free upgrade

Having problems with a laptop, seems that setting it back to factory defaults will help solve the issues.  The laptop came with Windows 8, and since has been upgraded to the free Windows 10.

Will I be able to get Windows10 back on the laptop?

No. The free upgrade offer has ended on 29th July 2016. Now if you want to upgrade to Windows 10 you have to buy it.

Splitting between experts.  Experts explained and confirmed that a previously installed authorized version of Windows 10 on a machine can be reinstalled again on this machine without problems.
