Yes, you can install Windows 10 with your 7 key these days. Just create a Windows 10 USB using Microsoft's Media Creation Tool and you're good to go.
Yup it is. You might have to turn on some of the CSM options in the BIOS.Mine is a Win 7 Pro "OEM". The reason I was asking is because I'm building a new system and want to make sure the OS is installed on the SSD as UEFI mode. I've heard it's harder to install the OS drive as UEIF mode (GPT) with Win 7 than Win 10.
Note
- Starting with the November update, Windows 10 (Version 1511) can be activated using some Windows 7, Windows 8, and Windows 8.1 product keys. For more info, see the section Activating Windows 10 (Version 1511 or higher) using a Windows 7, Windows 8, or Windows 8.1 product key in this topic.
They had taken 1511.7 off, then put 1511.14 back on I'm pretty sure. I think the current build that MCT downloads is 1511.31...? It was initially taken offline because of a problem with BitLocker.They took 1511 off of the media creation tool a few months ago. You will need to install windows 10, skip the option of having a key. Than run your windows updates to upgrade 10 to 1511, than it will allow you to put your windows 7/8 key in.
No, you cannot.
Phantoms, you are correct, you need to do the following:
1. Install Win7
2. Upgrade to Win10
3. Use a USB or DVD Win10 to install it "vanilla". (when asked for a key, skip it, and Win10 will recognize you had it installed prior).
The Windows 10 installer will not accept your Win7 key. I just did this on Saturday and tried to use my wife's Win8 key to install fresh, I had to upgrade first.
