[DISCUSSION] Windows 10 Build 10240

I did a direct upgrade from windows 7 to Win 10 Professional which is Permanently activated. Hurrahh . If i ever wanted to do a clean install, would I need to use any serial key?? to install my permanently activated version of Windows??? or do I just log back online to become activated again?

 

Yeah, in case even the creator of MTK suggests this ... nothing to add here .

 

No key needed (if asked for, SKIP!!!). Simply be online and let the fresh Win 10 install do it's job.

 

no, MS has your life history on file now. you can do as many clean installs as you want on THAT machine.

 

Ahuh, too easy . I think I've got all the information I need. Appreciate your help.

 

still activated i guess everything is good with backing up activation's with mtk and restoring it

Good ... might be, at least can't harm, still pointless .

 

So I just wanted to say. Did a rtm upgrade on inlaws machine as i said. Put me to rest. Has insider option as well as under installed updates option to remove preview build. Seems ms just forgot to remove it. So awesome.

 

i think that is done after 30 days in case you want to go back.

 

pointless would be not trying and saying it won't work when it does and if it helps others theen it's a good thing your to up tight sometimes lol calm it down a bit

 

oh my god guys, i just updated to 10 through windows update and it was fine, i rebooted and windows 10 was activated (the key was a generic one somehow, and not my win 8 key


anyway i was told i could do a clean install after that. Well i did and it asked me for serial wich i ignored.
now i cant activate it with my win 8 key.
what the hell did i do wrong?

 

If you can explain me how an out-dated offline backup, that saves only old tokens, will help in an Activation process which is STRICTLY ONLINE, i might re-consider.

Now you made doggie curious .

 

At first when I upgraded to Win 10 it worked fine and booted up, but after I restarted it wouldn't boot anymore. So I did a reset and it got stuck at 2% over the night so I had to completely re-install :/

 

You should additionally check the Advanced Tokens Backup thread by Josh. Since Win 8.1 only phone activation can be backed up, not any online one, does that ring a bell?

PointMatch doggie.

 

no i think your reffering to the windows.old folder that goes after 30 days. i am referring to under update advance. click update history says uninstall preview build. even the rtm download has it. as well as the insider section. i can see on my machines as i have been on them since it was released. but a legit upgrade over the net from ms. legal 100% has them too. like ms forgot to remove it. oh and the key is still the generic 3V66T one . same as my early upgrade key. lol
