| 1411524 | 2015-11-18 19:22:00 | Correct me if I am wrong, according to this site (www.howtogeek.com)with this new build, we can use Win7, Win8 8.1 product key to activate Win10. Can we use those keys to do a clean install by entering the key when asks during the installing process? Been meaning to try that :) Found a Old PC that has never had W10 on it, Vista in fact, disconnected from the internet, threw on a blank HDD, booted from the DVD 10586, entered a W7 Home OEM Key and it thought about it, then Accepted it. Then rebooted and tried a Windows 8 Retail, again accepted it. So YEP you can fresh install using previous keys on hardware thats never been activated With W10 before. :) Didn't go so far as activating, not going to waste a Good Key to test it out, but it should activate if the key was accepted in the first place. |
