Windows 10 Pro upgrade from Windows 8.1 Pro
I installed Win 10 Pro on my PC that had Win 8.1 Pro activated. It activated with no problem. When I look at the activation tab, it says it’s activated with a digital entitlement. When I look at Show Key Plus program it shows the Installed Key as the generic key for Win 10 Pro. It shows the original key as Win 8.1 Pro key. I didn’t think it would activate with a generic key. I did the change key block and put in my 8.1 key. It said it was activated and I have a genuine windows copy or something to that effect. The show key program still shows the generic key as the installed key. I called Microsoft. The first guy hung up on me. The second lady said “Don’t worry about it. If you have any more problems call us back. My concern is, after July and the free offer is over, if I have to do a clean install with the USB drive that I made, will it activate with the generic key?
