Windows 10: Windows 10 RETAIL Key

Dear Concern and Reader,First of all, I hope whoever is reading this finds you well and in the best of health. Now, I have a question and hoping someone directly from Microsoft would reply or anybody who knows about RETAIL keys of Windows and software. I purchased Windows 10 Pro directly from Microsoft.COM - However, if I do not use my product key for a while until I get a new PC that would be appropriate to run Windows 10 Pro, does it gets deactivated on its own? According to some resources I found on Reddit and other social platforms. Or do I get to keep it forever and can use it anytime? Es

:)

 

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?

I just did a deployment last night with a fresh 10 install using the newest ISO and a 7 Pro key, worked like a charm. Glad yours worked for you as well. *Toast :toast:

 

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.
