    Hi!

    Was it a free upgrade from W7 or W8? Do you still have the Product Key from the W7 or W8? There may be a way to use that product key to get a new digital entitlement.

    Upgrading to Windows 10 Pro, from W7 Home

    Hello, I have a question regarding the upgrade process from W7 Home to W10 Pro.

    I bought my laptop in September 2012 and it came with W7 Home. After getting the laptop I proceeded to preorder W8 Pro. Once it was released I upgraded to it and shortly after, I upgraded to W8.1. Now due to various issues I would like to perform a system
    restore from the OEM partition back to W7 Home. My question is how could I then upgrade to W10 Pro? Would I have to initially upgrade to W8 Pro and then to W10, in order to get the Pro version? Or is there some way to get directly from W7 Home to W10 Pro without
    having to go through W8, given the fact that I have purchased W8 Pro at some point?

  5. Did a clean install on my Laptop that has an OEM Embedded key for 8.0 Core. The CU Install media didn't auto read or use it. I was prompted for a key. The AU install media will auto read and use it. Just a FYI post. I would say the end is near.

    If you going to do it, I'd do it sooner than latter. *Wink They already announced officially that it was over, so you won't get any warning when they do finally close the tap.
