Can an OEM Windows 7/8/8.1 product key be used to activate Windows 10?
Whats First Big Update (Which Arrives Today)
I have read the above article. My understanding is that a user can clean-install and activate Windows 10 on a computer running Windows 7/8/8.1 that has never been upgraded to Windows 10 as long as the user has a valid Windows 7/8/8.1 product key.
However, someone (Mr. Zhai Jian) on a Chinese forum thinks that such a computer firstly has to be upgraded, getting a digital entitlement, and only after that can a clean installation be performed. He does not believe an OEM Windows 7/8/8.1 product key can be used to activate Windows 10.
Who is correct, Mr. Zhai Jian or I?
