As far as I can gather it should still be possible to have Win 10 activated wit a digital licence when upgrading from an activated Win 7. However, I can't get it to work and would appreciate some advice. I've tried installing a fresh, unedited version of Win 7 SP1 U Ultimate and then activating it with Windows Loader. Then I upgrade to Win 10 using the latest version. But Windows 10 ends up unactivated. Am I doing something wrong? Thanks in advance. BTW, this particular motherboard doesn't play nice when I insert a SLIC 2.1 table - that would otherwise be my preferred way to activate Win 7.
There is a much better way to activate Windows 10 permanently. Just install Windows 10 and use MAS (google massgravel)
