    Windows 10 to Windows 10 Pro after Format?


    MFTP9-YFB27-K2CQT-K983Y-2F8HP

    I upgraded by Windows 10 Home to Windows 10 Pro via Windows 7 Key Pro. All worked fine. Now I have formatted my PC and have installed Windows 10 Pro and it is showing Windows Home only. I have tired putting the Windows 7 Pro key back in but it is not working.

    How can I restore the license? I didnt have an MS account so nothing is backed up.

    Thanks

    Windows 10 formatting ?

    Hello all
    I have 3 hard drives
    1 sata 1 tb with Windows 10
    2 older drives that are ide that I use for apps and data and not clutter my main drive.

    I will be replacing the 2 older drives with a 2 tb data drive

    I am thinking of formatting my main drive and starting all new and reloading everything.

    My problem is that I was on Windows 7 pro 64 bit and got Windows 10 pro 64 bit upgrade free.
    So don't have Windows 10 CD or a code for it. So if I format will I be able to get Windows 10 for free
    Or I'll I have to buy the CD.
    Don't really want to spend 200.00 bucks right now.

    Have not formatted in a while what's the best way now a days ?

    Thanks Ruben

    Windows 10 formatting ?

    But he already went to 10, so it's already tied to his hardware no?
    To that end, he would only need to create the install media from the MS website, format upon installation and activate. There shouldn't be a need to to 10 since he is currently there and activated. See post 3...


    Or.. did I miss something? If he's on 7, can you still get 10 free if you didn't activate it before that expired?

    Edit: You have to use the assisted technology to get it free now... a bit shady to me if you aren't using that tech. That way you'd have to upgrade to 10.. then format and reinstall for a clean install.

    Windows 10 formatting ?

    We upgraded windows 7 to 10. Many crashes and errors after that. So a format and clean install of windows 10. Activated automatically. Zero issues and no more crashes etc etc.
    So I'm inclined to say to just go for it. And if a problem, then use your windows 7 key.
