  2. Windows 7 doesn't use OEM embedded keys so it must be the way your installing Windows 10 that's causing 10 Home to be installed? How old is your ISO, when did you download it?

    Today, from Microsoft's download page. Anyway, until I can upgrade to 10PRO with key VK7JG-NPHTM-C97JM-9MPGT-3V66T and after going to security settings and update the key with mine, that's fine !

    One more question, to upgrade from Home to Pro, it's same section (Update & security) but I put VK7JG-NPHTM-C97JM-9MPGT-3V66T this time ?

    Try your key first. If it works you'll only have to do the change key once. If you use the VK7JG-NPHTM-C97JM-9MPGT-3V66T key first you'll have to d the change key twice to get activated with your key.

    It doesn't work because Windows doesn't recognize the key (which is normal because it's a PRO key). However if I can upgrade to pro with the key above and after activate with mine that will solve my problem ! *Biggrin

  6. VK7JG-NPHTM-C97JM-9MPGT-3V66T is also a Pro key. If you upgrade with that key you will have an un activated 10 Pro. If your key is also rejected at that point, there is no way back to Home without reinstalling.
