  1. New Computer: Windows 10 Home -> Upgrade to Win 10 Pro with old Key


    Howdy Folks, *Smile
    New computer replacing one that crashed & burned.
    I'm looking for a quick refresher on upgrading my OS from Home to Pro.
    Is it simply a matter of changing my Key in Settings/Activation to the one from my old Win 10 Pro computer?
    Or are there specific step I have to follow?

    Thanks in advance to all who read this and those who reply!
    *Cool

    :)

  2. 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?

  3. How to reinstall Windows 10 if my computers used the free upgrade from 7 and 8?

    Will windows 10 still accept the license keys from 7 and 8 now if I reinstall my computer?

    Does Microsoft keep a list of users who upgraded to Win 10 using their 7 and 8 keys so that when users need to reinstall windows 10 the old keys would work?

    Do I need to call in Microsoft to ask them to activate my Windows 10 when I give them my win 7 keys?

    Both computers are laptops. The windows 7 machine had the serial printed on the back, and I needed to enter that when I upgraded to 10. The windows 8 machine had the serial built in inside its boot system so I didn't need to enter the key when I upgraded to 10, but I did manage to write down the keys using a fetcher program.

    How to reinstall Windows 10 if my computers used the free upgrade from 7 and 8?

    Yes, still work, no need to call, just be sure to have internet access when you start to install 10, I work at pc shop and did this few days ago, used a key of 7 to put clean 10(wasn't used for upgrade).
