Next Month You Will Be Able to Activate Windows 10 With Windows 7 and 8 Product Keys
Upgrading to Windows 10 is easy if you’re already using Windows 7 or 8 . However, if you want a clean install , you need to install the older version first. Windows 10’s first big update will fix that next month.
According to a Windows Insider blog post, Microsoft is currently rolling out a new activation method that will allow Windows 10 users to enter a product key from Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 to activate Windows. This should be much easier than the current method, which essentially requires you to install Windows twice.
If you are currently using a non-activated version of Windows or are waiting for a decision whether to install it , this information is useful to keep in mind. It will be much easier to activate Windows on a clean install next month. If you’re currently a Windows Insider, you can check out the new activation in Preview Build 10565.
