    it means i can directly upgrade from dvd (by not formatting just use upgrade option) after passing genuine Test on windows 7 SP1.......

    You can find cafe' or friends who has a high speed internet, then use Microsoft Windows 10 Media creator media, you can burn dvd or use USB flash..

    Now i have a Bootable DVD of Windows 10 (Downloaded from Windows site) and just passed Windows Validation (thanx to Daz) ....
    so i guess all i have to do is boot from dvd and select upgrade option and after that once again validate windows and do a clean install ????

    if i forgot something else to do then please Guide me ....:mushy::mushy::mushy:
    Thank you all in advance

    Microsoft activation phone number (888) 571-2048
    Then you call and beg, tell them you just got divorced, went blind, had brain operation and have hemorrhoids.:D

    OK I am thinking doing the same thing to upgrade from activated Win 8.1.
    I have removed the free Win 10 icons including KB3035583 and other KBs etc.

    Can I still able to upgrade using flashdrive without going through the ritual by re-installing those KBs?

    Many thanks.

    Though it's not recomended to upgrade from a kms activated windows 8.1. But it should work, without reinstalling those kb's, by using an iso/dvd/usb.
