Windows 10: Windows 10's activation.

Can't fit it in topic title to I just elaborate here.

I have one brand new OS-less HP Pavilion laptop.

I installed, just now, Windows 10 from flashdisk. Pro version, and I didn't enter any key. Of course it's unactivated still.

Thing is, my OLP license won't come until the next seven days, but I want to use it legally. Can I input my, still sealed, Windows 10's FPP key now and replace it with OLP key later? If I can, would it free up the FPP key once I input the OLP key?

Thanks in advance.

:)

 

Windows 10 unable to activate

An unactivated version of Pro is installed right now...the Activation troubleshooter said that this computer has a Windows 10 S license, and I need to download Windows 10 S, but I know that an activated version of Pro was on it before I reinstalled Windows
10.

 

Pro will install

Is the Windows 10 S installed, activated? If its activated, you might be able to just upgrade it from the Store for free using the following instructions:

Why bother, the only restriction is you cannot personalise install for a few days. Other than that it is fully functional, including updates.

 

Uh, well, as long as it doesn't nag me then I think I could bear with it. I'm going to do a formal presentation with it, so kind of.... embarassing if it pops up and complains.

 

It will not popup with a nag screen except under rare circumstances. If it happens, just laugh and make a joke saying you have no idea how to sort this issue, as it just started yesterday!

 

The answer to both those questions is yes.
