    [OUOTE]Please be aware that you cannot use the free upgrade offer to perform a clean install on first attempt. You must first upgrade from the qualifying version of Windows 7 or Windows 8/8.1 (whether you do it through Windows Update or using the .ISO file). Ensure the upgrade is completed successfully and then ensure that it is activated. You can then proceed to do a clean install by using recovery media or using the Reset function in Start > Settings > Update & Security > Recovery > Reset this PC (Get Started).

    Hey Lobo,
    I have an HP 3 in 1 notebook, Windows 8.1 activated, GWX is showing in tray but it's not yet available to upgrade here.
    May I upgrade it using an ISO, Win 10 Home that I've downloaded using Media Creation Tool, will it asks for a key, will it stays activated or do I have to 3D print a porduct key? :D

    FIRST: sfc /scannow

    then: Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth
    or dism.exe /online /cleanup-image /scanhealth

    Hey there good morning(Well for you good afternoon) all is well with the PC..the only weird thing that happened last night when I turned off the PC(Happened sometimes before with windows 8.1) is that when I went to shutdown the computer the light on the tower wouldn't shut off, so the computer was still running even though I powered off..so I pressed the button to turn it off entirely, rebooted the PC, turned if off again and this time it powered off, did it twice..Not sure the cause, maybe it was installing updates and it wasnt visible in the background(The screen was black) so not sure what happened just wasnt sure if I was going to have an issue again with conflicts because I didnt update any of the bluetooth or anything I left that alone

    No upgrade for you, use clean install and then activate again using KMSpico or other similar tool

    Use ESD file converted to ISO file from first post, not from MS Media Creation Tool

    Burn to DVD disk, then boot from it and use custom mode, delete partition.

    I tried upgrading Windows 7 activated with the Daz Loader but ran into problems. First, the update never came through Windows Update even though I waited. I then tried the upgrade option after using the Media Creation Tool, and once in Windows 10, it said it wasn't activated. Then I reinstalled Windows 7 with Daz Loader and used the leaked ISO from wzor which is on my USB key. I opened the setup file on the USB key and ran that. After the Windows 10 setup completed, same thing, not activated. I tried entering a product key and it won't take it. What am I doing wrong?

    Why no Upgrade for him ... :g:?

    If it's indeed Ultimate it cannot be KMSpico (no Volume Channel for Ultimate), must be the Loader here.

    Upgrade via an ISO, no need for that imbecile notification.

    You have to upgrade to appropriate version of windows. Ultimate/professional -> Pro
    Home -> Home

    You also have to be online during the upgrade process.

    Why sfc /scannow first?

    and whats the difference of it with dism.exe /online /cleanup-image /scanhealth

    Do they act the same? Please explain thorough.

    I was online, and the upgrade performed was Windows 7 Ultimate to Windows 10 pro. And I ran into all the problems I wrote above.

    If asked for any key, SKIP always. The Upgrade will automatically use the generic key and your machines HWID.

    I already did skip it. The only time I tried adding one was when going into PC Settings.

    Try again? maybe it just couldn't communicate with the activation servers for some reason during the upgrade.

    No keys needed. Windows 10 isn't able to even recognize old Windows 7/8/8.1 keys at all.
