    I am trying to uninstall win 10 pro retail from one machine and use it to upgrade the win 10 home on my laptop. The first machine is going to be decommissioned.

  2. 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.

    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?

    SCCM: In Place upgrade Win 7to win 10 1903 License issue

    I was working on one task sequence for In Place Upgrade. Win 10 1709 to Win 10 1903 is working fine.

    But Win 7 to Win 10 1903 is getting failed during Upgrade Operating System step.

    I checked some of the links and added the KMS Client Keys (NPPR9-FWDCX-D2C8J-H872K-2YT43) in upgrade operating system step.

    Also added one step to run vbs script.

    But Task Sequence is getting failed at this step.

    Command line Cscript.exe c:\windows\system32\slmgr.vbs /ipk NPPR9-FWDCX-D2C8J-H872K-2YT43 returned 3221549136

    In my environment, we are using KMS and we don't have a Volume license.

    Any advise how to resolve this issue.
