win 10 upgrade asking for product key
Hi, on my work laptop, i have received the win 10 app and it was ready to upgrade, As it was my work laptop I did not at the time but I did use the download to create a USB and I have updated two personal PCs with no issue.
I now have permission to upgrade the original work laptop so I am running the setup.exe file on the usb. Upgrade starts but it then asks for the product key. I enter the win 7 key that I have (from a key finder program). The upgrade then states 'this product key did't work' No option to skip just re-enter.
I do recall the update process starting and I canceled it.
Win 7 professional is genuine. fully updated with sp1.
Win 7 is working fine.
Win 10 app now states it will notify me when it is ready to install.
Could the canceled upgrade have already noted the win 10 product key in some way?
Any help would be great.
