Windows 10 Activation / Question regarding clean install
So i have just upgraded from Windows 7 Pro to Windows 10 Pro,
i had/have a legal Windows 7 Pro license key that came with my laptop and it activated Windows 7 just fine.
Windows 10 however will not activate, i already read that this might be possible due to the activation servers?
Is this problem still ongoing and if so is there a time frame in which it will be solved?
I also dualboot my laptop with Linux, i plan to remove Linux this week and i would like to format my SSD and do a clean Windows 10 install. I download a Win10 media creation tool to download an ISO and create a bootable USB.
If i do this how will i be able to activate Windows 10? Do i use my Windows 7 key or will i have to retrieve my Win10 key somehow?
Thanks in advance
