    Clean istalling Windows 10 from a dual boot system


    Currently I have a dual boot system with Win 7 and Win 10. I want to remove Windows 7 from my main drive. Since I want to do that, I thought I'd completely redo my system by formatting all my drives and do clean install Windows 10.

    Is there going to be any problem, like no key?

    :)

    Windows 10 clean istall with dual boot

    I visited the page Download Windows 10 and the last requirement says about a windows product key that I don't have. How can I find this key? Do I have to install windows 10 from windows
    7, so that it can recognize I have genuine windows 7 Ultimate? The problem is I want to install windows 10 in a different partition (dual boot).

    Hi,

    Thank you for posting on Microsoft Community. I will certainly help you with this.

    Dual booting in the way you mentioned can cause activation issue after upgrading Windows 10. I suggest you to refer to the Wiki article by
    Andre Da Costa about dual booting and check if it helps:

    How to Dual Boot Windows 10 with Other Versions of Windows, macOS and Linux

    Hope this information is helpful. Please feel free to reply in case you face any other issues with Windows in future.

    Thank you.

    I have an Intel STK1AW32SC That for some reason I can't access!
    It was running Win 10 32 Bit

    Can I use the Download Tool to reinstall Win 10 32 Bit.

    Thanx

    Only if the media detects it which I assume it does.

    Do you see the stick as boot option?
