    Don't know which Windows 7 Product Key has been used


    I am planning a clean install on a new SSD. I've read that I have until December 31 to do the upgrade.
    I have used the media creation tool to create a disk.
    My problem is that I have a half-dozen windows 7 Home Premium boxes and don't know which ones have been used and which ones haven't been used.
    What if I enter the product key and it is one that has been used. Can I assume that I will I be given a chance to try a different one?

    (Just planning ahead--I can't just do it right now since the computer is at a different location.)

    Yes, you can try as many keys as you want - just make sure you have Win 10 Home installed.

I want to clean install Windows 10 on my HTPC and remain an insider. Will it ask for a product key? Can I use my 8.1 product key? I found an ISO that I am going to try so that I don't have to install 8.1 and 1,000 updates.
