Ignore COA 25 alpha-numeric code
Hi,
The pc floats win7 home premium 64 bit. The 3.2GB win10 ISO was downloaded and burned to dvd. Boot to dvd to start upgrade I was asked for the 25 character product code. I don't have one for win10. The win7 installed is genuine.
The instructions do not describe this response so I quit install.
This was on line free upgrade package for win7/8 to win10.
The ISO did not allow me to choose a partition, by the point I quit. Will I have that choice should I decide to ignore the 25 character code? This PC has dual boot: win7-64/Mint-64.
win7 is a good platform to work from but it will go away like all those before.
Has anyone left the 25 char code for later, continued install, and get genuine win10 stamp?
What is needed to get that?
thanks,
Keith
