    I'm pretty sure windows 8 would have to activate. I'm getting the error that tells me the license can only be used to upgrade to 8. If this weren't the case, I would have just upgraded to 8.1.
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/Microsoft/Windows/CurrentVersion/Setup/OOBE/MediabootInstall
    Change the key's value from 1 to 0.


    Look it up on the net it was well known a few years back.

    I would do what Navylcdr suggested because I have the samething as you windows 8 pro retail license keys and they work whenever I do clean installment of 10, just do a clean 10 install and enter your 8 keys, it works for me every time
