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

    Well, I did not get any clear reply to this, and having a bit of time on my hands, decided to install W8Pro, thus hopefully guaranteeing a path to W10Pro when it is released.

    Purely for info, I tried the in-palce upgrade from W7 to W8 which at first looked very impressive. Certainly all of my data and programs seemed to have been kept.

    Unfortunately, after that I was never able to get Windows Update to work! It kept failing then "reverting" the changes. After trying to fix that for over two days, I went back to a clean install of W8, which is where I am now.

    I have two bays/drives HDD (C:/ w10pro 650GB+ T:/ 350GB) +( D:/ 500GB) currently

    if take the D:/ out AND IN ITS PLACE put SSD and install W10Pro (same key as C:/ - is upgrade from 8.1 pro needs key???) on SSD

    can boot choose on turn on of PC either from C:/ or from SSD???

    in other words

    You can use the windows 10 Pro generic product key to trigger an upgrade to windows 10 Pro, the use the Windows 8 Pro product key to activate it.
