    And then do what? Upgrade to 1511? Would that work? How?

    Preview build before 10240 is a workaround. I am stupid, but I never tell a lie - cause I always test it myself.

    But none of it matters (if it does or not), as the hardware hash activation is already on MS servers...

    The hash of the machine would first need to be completly changed or get it deleted from MS database (rather difficult)

    Doesn't matter, if you activate an Ultimate 7 or Pro 8.x, then upgrade to Pro 10, it'll add that to your hardwares license too

    Thanks, will give it a go very soon...
    But what key does it actually need? (for free activation, I mean)

    My OEM Win8.1 CoreConnected tablet would not activated however I had applied the upgrade. ONLY preview before 10240 can make it a free Pro.

    Just activate 7 or 8.x with MTK and upgrade

    Or use a genuine 7 Ultimate, or 8.x Pro key

    You're arguing with yourself, I wasn't even taking any notice of you or talking to you, you decide to butt in to someone elses conversation

    Good night then, thought you were going to bed?

    lol, you're not great at editing your posts in time, maybe post the correct thing first time?

    It's all about the attitude, the way you talk to people, it comes across aggressive and belittling

    OK, let's forget it ;)

    sounds like your win 8.1 is a home version period.....i think u are confused about what version u have......if your 8.1 is pro and u upgrade u will get win 10 pro. the only thing u can do is a clean install using win 10 ISO from MDL and input your key, but if your key dont work u know is a win 8.1 home key.
