Casper Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 I upgraded to Windows 10 and it said it was activated. I had so many issues that I had to go back to Windows 7. I will have to do a format and then install Windows 10 to (hopefully) avoid the mess I had. Will my Windows 10 now be activated? I know you must first upgrade before you can do a clean install.I will probably install Windows 10 only in a month or two (or even longer) now.

When you reinstall Windows 10 again you are not going to activate again after reinstall Windows 10 should automatically activated.*This means, as long you upgrade within the first 12 months (July 29th 2015 to July 29th 2016), you will not have to pay for Windows 10 at all.* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0veR Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 Yes it is! Microsoft now save activation in cloud so you wont have to activate everytime you do clean install of Windows 10. Anyway to be sure make sure you save your original key of Windows 10 somewhere.http://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/7745-product-key-view-windows-10-a.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
