Hypothetical question re Win 10 home-Pro upgrade.
I've asked this on various Windows forums & received conflicting replies; some say it'll works while other say it won't, posting here to get a genuinely honest answer.
Long story so bear with me.
I previously has a Vista premium/pro laptop which was retired & I bought a Win 7, this came with the Win 8 upgrade offer which I chose to receive on CD which came with a Windows 8 pro key. Before I could install win 8 on win 7 laptop, it failed so I received a refund but was left with the upgrade & key doing nothing. I installed Win 8 over Vista & eventually I also upgraded Win 10 after several months of Windows 8/8.1 working fine.
Now I have a Win 10 home laptop as old one died, my question is can I use the win 8 pro key to upgrade win 10 home to pro or was it absorbed into Windows 10 upgrade on the old Windows Vista-Windows 8 laptop.
I just want to make sure before I throw the CD & key away that it cannot be used again to install Win 8 or upgrade Windows.
TIA,
