Windows 10: How to install Windows 10 Professional Standard with key?

I want to pass from my current version Windows 10 Home edition to Professional so i bought a key from 3rd party site. However, the version that i bought works only on newly installed Windows and cannot be used to upgrade my system from another version.

That's why I created a Windows 10 installation media USB flash drive to have a new clean installation of windows, but nowhere during the installation i could insert the key. How do I use it?



P.S: This doesn't work

- Settings > Update & Security > Activation > Change product key

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.

 

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?
