1406267 2015-08-10 06:13:00 I upgraded my old HP desktop from Win7 Pro to Win10 and it went through quite smoothly with negligible issues - all good. After running for almost a week I decided to do a clean install just to get rid of all the unwanted stuff.

Booted from the DVD which I used for the upgrade, went through the usual thing, wiped the partition, etc., but half way through, it asked fro Product Key. Looks like it doesn't remember the Key. Maybe it is not UEFI capable MB?

What shall I do other than put back my Win7 Pro and do the upgrade from within Win7?

What shall I do other than put back my Win7 Pro and do the upgrade from within Win7? As long as its been activated previously -- Bottom left hand corner click Do this later (Similar wording) Carry on as normal, once its actually got internet access it should auto activate.
