    Can I use a Windows 8 Ultimate key to Upgrade to Windows 10 Pro ?


    I have purchased Windows 8 Ultimate retail years ago but in the end Windows 10 Automatically updated from my Windows 7 Home drive. I never needed a Windows 10 key but now would like Window 10 Pro. Can I use my Windows 8 Ultimate key to upgrade to Windows 10 Pro from Windows 10 Home edition ?

    :)

    Now that I have finally upgraded from Windows 8 to Windows 10 will my Windows 8 key work with a fresh install of Windows 10?

    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?

    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?
