Im kind of confused on which ISO should I use when I am updating from Windows 7 Ultimate to Windows 10 Professional. I had a 32bit one with both Home and Pro but it does not let me upgrade without a product key.
if you do not want to see the cd key insertion things then mount/extract the widnows 10 iso to your internal HDD and run the setup file from there. pl do not boot from the DVD/pendrive, just run the setup file and you will never be asked for any cd key.
For upgrade in-place, the right Architecture and Edition must be used. e.g. x86 Windows 7 vs. x86 Windows 10 multiple_editions x64 Windows 7 vs. x64 Windows 10 multiple_editions
You can upgrade Windows 7 Ultimate to Windows 10 Pro. you do not need to use a product key during the process: hit the little 'Skip for now' button and let Windows 10 install. But you should remember that Windows 10 will be available as a free upgrade starting July 29. But that free upgrade is good only for one year as of that date. Once that first year is over,Windows 10 Pro will cost $199. you do not need to use a product key during the process: hit the little 'Skip for now' button and let Windows 10 install.
Well, I have done a half dozen or so in-place upgrades of Win 7 Pro to Win 10 Pro, and have never been asked for a key. Just copy the contents of the Win 10 iso to a folder on the hard drive, and run the setup program. If I boot the Win 10 installation media, and do a fresh install after upgrade then yes, I had to skip key entry a couple of times.
Yes, you are correct, not sure why I got the key screen before, but just did a win 7 to 10, then a 8.1 to 10, both from mount, then a win 7 to 10 boot with key screen. Both times, this time from mount no key screen.
Yes indeed, if you are doing the in place upgrade by copying iso to hdd and then running the setup program, it should not ask for a key. I have seen it ask for a key when I copied the wrong iso to hdd.
