Windows 10: How to buy just a Windows 10 home key?

Hi guys,


I already have Windows 10 home installed, and don't want to re-install it, all I'm wanting is a key to make my Windows genuine.

I thought about buying https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/p/windows-10-home/d76qx4bznwk4?activetab=pivot%3aoverviewtab but it says it's an install onto a USB. I'm not trying to install windows or upgrade, I'm just wanting to make my current version genuine. How do I go about literally just buying a key?


P.S. I had a previous key, several years ago when I bought my pre-built PC but lost it after having my mobo and CPU upgraded.


Thanks

:)

 

windows 10 key

Thanks but I don't want to do any decrypting. I want to download a Win 10 ISO from Microsoft and install it using my Win 8 key. No other steps required. Is that possible?

 

Installing Windows 10 using Windows 7 key

Nope, you need to install Windows 10 first and make sure the Windows 7 key is transferred to your Windows account after you've installed Windows 10 (not quite sure how that works). I missed the last step and I could not activate Windows 10 after a re-install... Microsoft seem to have done everything they can to make it a PITA. Also, it's technically too late to do this now anyhow, as the upgrade offer has expired. But KMSPico works quite well...

As for getting rid of Windows, delete the Windows folder.

Click to expand... Yeah I went to that site, why do I need to buy a key?
I won't buy a key, stupid.

I'll revert back to windows 7 then.

When I still was on windows 7, about a year ago I added 4GB extra ram which is a total of 8GB now,
is that causing the problem?
