I have up/down from Pro to Enterprise and back to Pro and to Core/home so I see no reason why, All needed KEY are easy to find, and the regedit works perfect. but I see no reason to go down to Core but i can see all the reasons to go up to Pro or Enterprise. I did use seperate Genuine iso to do this as provided by MS
mediacretiontool have the option to upgrade directly( i dont meant to make usb or make iso) if i use it like this should be ok to keep the activation
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?
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.
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.
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 .
