    Which licence am I using?

    Basically my asus laptop came with win 8, but gave me problems.

    So I erased the recovery partition to clean install with win 7 which is a full retail version that I bought years ago. I had since activated it online.

    Fast forward to last year, I upgraded my OS to win 10 via win 7, then did a clean full installation from scratch. During the clean installation, the OS activation did not prompt me as it picked up my product key automatically.

    Now the question is: since my os product key can be picked up automatically whenever I do clean installation, does it mean it was taken from my UEFI bios? In this case, the key that Microsoft picked up from my laptop actually belongs to win 8, and not my win
    7?

    Because if it took from win 8, it means my win 7 can still be used for another activation of win 10?

    This is crucial for me because time is running up to get free windows 10. I should have 2 licences win 8 and win 7, and I want to maximise them for 2 x win 10 licences.

    Thanks in advance.

    Windwos 10 Clean Install Activation

    Hi friends,

    I have recently upgraded my windows 7 professional licence to windows 10 pro. How ever it seems some what slower and buggy. so i just need to do a clean installation to my computer and i have downed the win 10 ISO.

    The question is if i do the clean installation with the ISO how do i do the activation to 10 pro. Because i don't have the Licence key for Win 10 but for win 7?

    If i use the Win 7 Key is it get activated or not?

    Or else if i use a tool like "Magical jell bean" to grab the key from windows 10 upgrade, is it gonna work when activating the win 10 clean installation?

    Please help me on this I really really wanna do a clean installation and the activation asap.

    Thanks.

    Mithun Fernando

    Can I use Win 8 BizSpark licence key for clean instalation of Win 10

    No, you'll need to upgrade your current 8.1 install first. Once that upgrade is done and Windows 10 is activated, you can then use the USB drive to do clean installs of Windows 10 on that computer going forward.

    You need to do an upgrade to 10 first, then activate it.
