Windows 10: Upgrade Windows 10 Home to Pro using Windows 8 Pro Lisence Key

Hello!

I have one quick question: Is it still possible to use an old Windows 8 Pro license to upgrade my Windows 10 to professional? I saw in articles online that it was possible but when I went to activation and put in the Product Key in my email from when I bought Windows 8 Pro directly from Microsoft, it gives me the error that the license "didn't work" with error code 0x800f0805. I am currently running the latest Insider Preview of Windows 10 Home Edition, 20H2, build 19042.746 with Windows Feature Experience Pack 120.2212.551.0.


Thanks,

Dustin

Clean Windows 10 (?PRO?) install

I have bought a legit "Windows 10 Pro" key of a key website. It is legit since i'm currently using it for over a year now. I currently have Windows 10 Pro installed on my PC and I want to do a clean install. I just can't find the windows 10 Pro download in the tool. But if i could use a windows 10 pro key with a normal windows 10 install, I'll be good to go.

I read through most of that thread and it seems you have to jump through windows insider hoops. Is there a Retail Windows 10 x64 PRO ISO I can download directly from microsoft that my windows 8 key will work with?

Thanks but I don't want to do any decrypting. I want to download a Win 10 ISO from Microsoft and install it using my Win 8 key. No other steps required. Is that possible?
