How to upgrade from W7/8.1 without going through the complete upgrade process

People and 'herd instinct', the usual .

 

can i upgrade any version of windows 10 pro from windows 7 or 8.1 to get free windows 10 ?

 

Windows 7 Ultimate or Professional => Windows 10 Pro (any build)
Windows 8.1 Pro => Windows 10 Pro (10586 or 1511) => Windows 10 Pro (any build)

 

VL or Retail copy ?

 

Retail obviously.
VL can be activated by KMS activators but the purpose of this thread to establish HWID or get Digital Entitlement which means OEM/retail ISOs should be used.

 

Now till 16 jan.

 

Till jan. 16. for what?

 

Referring to this probably.
'herd instinct' as @s1ave77 would say.

 

Free upgrade

 

The question is now : after 16/1/18, what about using the gatherosstate.exe method or start setup from a Windows 10 Iso?

 

In 10 days we'll know

I activated Windows 7 with Daz loader and generated a genuine ticket file, will it activate Windows 10 if I uninstall the loader (by reformatting the drive) ?

 

If the genuineticket.xml is generated on a daz activated 7 sp1 you can clean install 10 and insert the ticket following the guidelines at the OP. Daz loader won't be present anymore after a format/install of 10.

 

Thanks !

 

what about OEM bios hack w7 ultimate?

 

That would be genuine activation, working

 

what I meant is [Windows 7 Ultimate or Professional => Windows 10 Pro (any build)] or I need to go tru the pain
Win 10 Pro (10586 or 1511) then => Windows 10 Pro (any build)

 

Windows 7 Ultimate/Professional => Windows 10 Pro any build.
You don't need 1511 here.

 

please an important info: if i have a windows 7 pro activated by loader or kms, can i upgrade to windows 10 pro and keep activation? one year ago this way worked for another user and now i hope so..... thanks
