Hi Enthousiast,
I am just answering the guy who was trying to upgrade from Windows 7 to 10 and end up with a digital license, but having trouble with Windows 7 USB. Thanks.

Is there a way other than entering a genuine key and not formatting? I am talking about moving from Home to Professional without a genuine key and ending up with a digital license.

 

Yes, but not allowed to be discussed here.

 

You can try Windows 8.1 pro VL then upgrade to Windows 10 Pro 1511 OEMRET.

 

Why VL? if KMS is used all is VL

 

Btw, mindpsin311 has solved his problem and simple7 didn't have a problem

 

Technically, You are right.

But, I really did not meant VL ISO, just to make VL (KMS) activation for 8.1 PRO.

 

With the proposed ei.cfg or pid.txt all iso's will be able to install pro on a system with a MSDM for Home/Core.

All properly coded KMS solutions will insert the gVLK first, resulting in a VL install, so it doesn't matter if the OEMRET (MSDN/MVS Multiple Editions (OEMRET) iso used or the VL iso is used, as soon as a KMS solution is used, the install IS VL.
