    Do a "Reset this PC". It has been reported here that it works ok.

    No version selection option given in MediaCreationTool .. I did select "Create installation media for another PC" then I select English(US)/Win 10 Pro/32bit and it automatically download for me

    Reset this PC' after the Windows 10 Upgrade is not necessary if you select "keep personal files only" or "nothing" in "choose what to keep" menu option (unless if you choose "keep personal files, apps, and windows settings"). this will remove app/programs, drivers, settings etc. its the same as fresh installation with clean registry, windows and program files except account/username login.

    Alright, so right now I'm using an old computer, with BIOS instead of UEFI. It has Windows 7 Ultimate but with Volume license, activated with Daz loader of course.
    So now do I just do the suggested upgrade to 10 then reinstall, or should I reinstall Windows 7 first but with retail license this time before going for 10?

    An early post here or somewhere suggested that Volume license doesn't work. Either that, or the upgraded Windows 10 ended up with a different license. Hence, this question.

    The suggested one :D. Assure Windows is activated and is online, start the Upgrade from within and follow instructions given.

    What happens if I don't do a clean install of Win 7 but only format C: and install it there and then do the upgade? Will it cause any problems?

    What if I have a current version running home edition, then I put in a harddisk with Pro edition do the upgrade.
    Finally I take out the harddisk and put back the old version and do the upgrade again will I get pro or home?

    So now comes the killer part.
    So in this case MS servers see your computer as home or professional?

    Does a clean reformat as GPT partition but without the loader will still view it as valid?

    I am still sceptical that one day MS will push a check on bios slic on OEM upgraded license so since the loader does not work on GPT all the license will be rendered invalid?

    Upgrade must run from within an legit and online system. Home Basic/Premium, Core >> Home; Pro/Ultimate >> Pro. No Enterprise.

    What I mean is that a clean reinstall is done so the final result is pro or home?

    Should work.

    Loader v3.0 will be released to handle this.

    Truth. I already have the code done.

    BIOS changes can occur and that isn't really against their terms anyway. The hardware is the same, so the activation checks will always pass. There's no point in worrying yourself anyway because we all know that if one activation method fails then another will surface.

    Being one of the most widely known people in the world, you'd think you'd be conceited, LOL, but I see you're still one of the nicest and helpful persons like when you started here.
