    Could I use Win 10 ISO image on a USB to do re-clean install of the OS


    Hello,
    I upgraded to window 10 pro OS during the period when it was available to upgrade free of charge.

    Mine prior to the upgrade was running on Win 7 Pro (Retail Version). I do have my retail copy of the Win 7 Pro disc as well as the COA number.

    If I want to do a clean reinstall of my present Win 10 pro OS, Do I first have to install my Win 7 Pro and then have to upgrade from MS official site to Win 10 Pro OR
    Can I download Win 10 Pro ISO image to a USB key and do a straight clean install of the OS?
    If so what product key number I will have to put in afterwards to activate my OS?

    Mine a Dell computer-Desktop Dimension 9200

    Thanking you for your guidance.

    :)

  2. windows 7 0EM key is not recognized when activating win 10

    Did you use the ISO to clean install or update using windows update? If you used windows update it should not be asking for a key, if you clean installed you will need to re-install the previous OS or buy a win 10 key.

    Win 10 is a free upgrade that needs to check the previous OS. If it is asking for a key after the install when trying to activate it could not find one

  3. WIN 10 Pro and ISO Image

    Hi.

    Providing we have a previously legit OS like Win 7 / 7 Pro and 8* why cant we download just a ISO ( Image File ) of Win 10 Pro to the Desktop or USB to then burn to a BOOTABLE DVD ???

    As we could still prove that our previous OS is legit via the Product ID and the Product Key ???

    This would be nice as a CLEAN INSTALL ALTERNATIVE opposed to having to reserve a Win 10 UPGRADE.

    Clean Install Windows 10

    Once your PC has Win 10 on it you can reinstall Win 10 when you like. You can even change hardware.
    No product number is needed activation should be automatic.

    Thank you very much for the information and the link on the subject.
    Very greatly appreciated. ( Good to learn that once I have Win 10 up and running-which is the case with me) I do not need activation code,
    Regards
