Windows 10 Upgrade


Recommended Posts

after you do a upgrade install and activate can you do a full install without a activation key, I ask because I had a problem with the store the second day so I call microsoft and the tech I talked to said I would have to have a key. But when I downloaded the ISO from Microsofts website it said I didn't need a key.

You can either do a reset AFTER you have upgraded and wipe all files/settings and bring it back to clean windows 10.

The other way is to upgrade then extract your key and then perform a clean install via DVD/ISO and use the key you extracted.

Once you upgrade and activate, a unique hash of your computer hardware profile is saved online. You won't need a key to do a clean install in the future on that hardware, just choose skip when it asks for a key. It will recognize your computer and activate automatically.
