    Activate single language edition with multi language key?


    I downloaded the Win10 Home single language ISO for a clean install on a new build PC and skipped the activation step during install. Now I need to activate. If I purchase a copy of Windows 10 Home in store or digitally, will I be able to use the product key in my current install without need to re-install?

    I tried to phone MS support about this and they were utterly useless!

    Thanks!

    What version of Windows did your PC have prior to installing windows 10 SL ???

    Nevermind - New build...

    Do you have a Retail Copy of Windows 7 or better ??? That you could transfer the Retail license to the new build ??

    If so transfer the prior Retail OS to the new build and then upgrade for free to Windows 10..

    windows 10 key

    You need to upgrade the first time around. Once you upgrade, you can use that key for a clean installation. I've done 2 clean installations with my Windows 7 key since I upgraded to 10 the first time around.
