    Windows 10 key not working.


    I built my own PC a while back and upgraded from Windows 7 to Windows 10 during the free license upgrade period. Then a few years later my school asked me to upgrade my Windows to the Education version which I did. I now want to go back to my regular version since I no longer need to be on the Education version but every time I use the old activation key I get an error message saying that it is not valid. How can I go back to the full version if the key is giving me errors?

    :)

    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.

    windows 10 key

    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?

    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?
