To tell you the truth I simply cannot explain this. I've never heard of it. I have an a Windows 8 key and a Windows 8.1 key I have used for what seems forever (since 2014) to install Windows 10. Each are linked to one of two hotmail accounts and display either Marty Felker or Martin Felker. The physical machine I use now was installed from a 14393 ISO using the Windows 8.1. After upgrading to 15031 I happened to run the program PK0setup which is one of several portable apps that can scan and print Microsoft Product Keys. It displayed the Windows 10 Pro Insider key as being different from the 8.1 key I used. I trashed that VM immediately after I installed it - I only wanted to test the key. If I had more information (other than the key(s) themselves of course!:) I share that. Many strange things have happened in my decades in this field (including a data transmission which was corrupted by a cosmic ray switching a "0" to a "1" <very long story> but this is one of the weirdest. For all I know the key won't work. I'll never know until I try. An imagae of the working is available to me naturally (as well as my other mutli boot environments Windows Server 2016 and openSUSE Tumbleweed).
3rd time in a row, updated on first try. Smooth install no issues so far. -.-
Back. Didn't take very long at all. I will have a bit of work to get back to the triple boot but BTBM (Terabyteunlimited) makes this quite easy and pretty much foolproof. I'll try to stay "pure Microsoft" for awhile but the urge to install FF is already strong. The "gift" product key worked just fine.
Darn I havent been able to install 15042 now its trying unsuccessfully to install 15046.
