    Shhh!!! Free upgrade from W7/W8/W8.1 still working !!


    Hi folks
    I recovered another old server -- rescued again from I.T dept scrapping it and totally wiped HDD's. Nothing of mine was or ever had been on that machine.

    Created media creation tool for current version of Windows and installed W10 Pro eng-GB edition.
    checked "I don't have a product key and installed.

    At first boot I went to activation -->change product key as Windows was flagged as not activated.

    entered an old Technet key for Windows 8.1 pro (VL, multiple activation edition) -- key was from around aug 2013 so 5 yeas old !!.

    Checked activation after entering the product key. (The one from Technet for Windows 8.1).

    "Windows has been activated with a digital licence".

    I'm sure this is legal - but I'm surprised those activation servers haven't shut this down by now.

    Cheers
    jimbo

    I haven't installed W8 Pro yet - how do I get W10 Pro

    I have a computer running W7 Home, but bought the initial offer of an ISO upgrade to W8 Pro. I have not yet installed the W8 Pro upgrade. In order to get W10 Pro, must I install the W8 Pro first, or can I simply enter the product license key for W8 Pro
    that I got?
