    How to reactivate Windows 10 from a Windows 8 license key


    A few years ago, I bought Windows 8 SL CD installer with license key and installed it on my laptop. I upgraded the said OS to Windows 10 at the time that it was offered for free.


    A few years later, I uninstalled windows on said laptop and sold it for parts. I am now reinstalling Windows 10 in a desktop pc. I can't reactivate my reinstallation of Windows 10 using the Windows 8 license key.


    Please help.

    :)

    Now that I have finally upgraded from Windows 8 to Windows 10 will my Windows 8 key work with a fresh install of Windows 10?

    I read through most of that thread and it seems you have to jump through windows insider hoops. Is there a Retail Windows 10 x64 PRO ISO I can download directly from microsoft that my windows 8 key will work with?

    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?
