    Just a question,

    A clean install using a 7 or 8.1 key wont activate any more unless an assistive technologies upgrade from the previous OS has been done before ?

    Thanks

    Last time i tried, the normal iso upgrade still works to get a HWID for 10, the only thing stopped is that MSFT doesn't easily offer it anymore in previous windows versions.

    So is it still possible just to clean install using a 7 or 8 key that has never been on 10 ? Will it activate ?

    Upgrading or generating a genuineticket.xml still works, don't know about using 7/8.x keys to activate.

    I have tested twice yesterday (12 Nov) and genuineticket.xml from W7 Dell OEM (that i have done many times before) did NOT work.
    Assistive tech upgrade did work (just to confirm I clean installed 1607 iso). Showed Activated as soon as connected to Internet

    Keys (7/8) did not work for a very long time!

    Tomorrow i get a laptop to install 10 on.

    I always test the genuineticket.xml method and the normal ISO upgrade method.

    Last week genuineticket still worked.

    That won't last.

    End of sales

    OEM's to stop selling Hardware with Windows 7 by 10/31/16

    OEM's will only be able to ship Hardware with Windows 10

    What does that have to do with upgrading from an activated 7 SP1 or 8.1 > 10?

    I don't know what you're saying. Not all systems are OEM.
