    Activate W10 with W11 product key?

    You can clean install Windows 10, same version, Home or Pro, and it will auto activate.

    Or... you can make Windows 11 just like Windows 10...

    The START Menu is really the only serious difference... and it's not THAT different.

    Activate W10 with W11 product key?

    Understood. Then simply add ExplorerPatcher - keeps Win11 but as a look-a-like Win10. Saves all the hassles of a re-install.

    Just try it first.

    But, if you do decide to go down the W10 re-install path ..
    - image (Macrium Reflect) existing activated W11 installation just in acse things go pear-shaped
    - you shouldn't have to worry about a key anyway, if W11 is (was) activated, the installation of W10 should auto-activate accordingly.

    Important W10 activation key questions left unanswered by Microsoft

    I have the same question, due to the problem I had yesterday @

    Windows 10 upgrade issues on W8.1

    My W8 license/ISO I re downloaded and burned to DVD disk, I tried to download the free upgraded W8.1 ISO using that license Key but it did not work. It was a different Key from the W8 Key. I have both Keys. It seems that I should have been able to directly download the W8.1 ISO.

    So if you have to do a reinstall of W10 what Key do you insert after you have done a full wipe?
