    Windows 8.1 Pro Key conversion into Windows 10 Key


    Hi,


    I've bought Windows Pro 8.1 5 years ago, & I've upgraded it to Windows 10 when it was launched for free.


    Unfortunately, I've removed my Windows OS from my Mac, due to limit of space.


    So I wanted to know, how would I be able to retrieve my Windows 10 Key, so I can re-install the windows on my Mac without buying Windows 10? So I would skip the part of upgrading from Windows 8.1 to Windows 10.


    Regards,

    Hosam

    :)

    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?

    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:
