Windows 10: Windows 10 Home to Windows 10 Enterprise using University Activation Key

I recently upgraded my Motherboard and CPU from a very old version to a newer card. When I transferred my storage over I needed to redownload windows 10. I knew I had an activation key through my University but I couldn't access it from my phone. I wasn't sure what version of windows I had so I chose Windows Home. The product key I have is for Windows 10 Enterprise. When I put the key in though it says that it is not valid. How can I activate my windows using the key I have now?I saw somewhere that I might need to update to Windows 10 Pro before I can switch to Enterprise but it won't allow me

Installing Windows 10 using Windows 7 key

Nope, you need to install Windows 10 first and make sure the Windows 7 key is transferred to your Windows account after you've installed Windows 10 (not quite sure how that works). I missed the last step and I could not activate Windows 10 after a re-install... Microsoft seem to have done everything they can to make it a PITA. Also, it's technically too late to do this now anyhow, as the upgrade offer has expired. But KMSPico works quite well...

As for getting rid of Windows, delete the Windows folder.

Now that I have finally upgraded from Windows 8 to Windows 10 will my Windows 8 key work with a fresh install of Windows 10?

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.
