Archaven Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 i'm going to upgrade to windows 10 from windows 7 x64 ultimate. instead of upgrading, i like to do a clean install. any idea how do i do that? i have a genuine windows 7 key. but does windows 10 recognize windows 7 key if i do a clean install? if so where can i download the windows 10 x64 iso files? thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even you will make a clean install of Windows 10, your system will be activated automaticaly based on hardware id collected by M$ when you made the upgrade. You will lose you licence only when you will replace parts of your computer, especially motherboard. In this case you will need to contact the computer manufacturer to ask for a new licence but according with your warranty or own services. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Israeli_Eagle Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 Actually... Clean Windows 10 is already a paradox, like Final Beta or Spy Security. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Download ISO File there : https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/techbench PS: Each Windows 10 edition ISO file contains both Windows 10 Home and Windows 10 Pro versions --> During installation if you skip the key you will be offer selection of two Edition to chose from. Once again during installation you can eighter to do Upgrade or Advance (Clean Installation) Using DVD ISO from boot menu always the faster option.. ======================================================= 1 hour ago, Recruit said: You don't need to worry : If you have upgraded from Windows 7 to Windows 10 your licence will be kept without to buy a new one.

Every article says after 29 July you wont be able to get Free Upgrade regardless if you already upgrade and activate from previous Windows before unless if you wanna pay $119 for upgrade free... You can still use Windows 10 free but not upgrade Edition after 29 July. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People says that trick works for clean installation and getting activated. Personally I have not tried on my PC. That trick was not available by the time I was Upgrading ---> What I personally did Upgrade once then clean Install again and again.............

You can clean install your PC as many time you want even after 29th July, just skip entering key. Your PC will activate automatically when it connect to the Internet.

Archaven Posted May 8, 2016 Author Share Posted May 8, 2016 ohh that suxs.. guess the best bet is retail copy? that cost a bomb though. when you upgrade CPU, most likely the mobo will be affected mostly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gipsy Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 first of all-why u need this piece of shit? buy a new mobo & install 7/8.1 VL edition,activate by MAK & be happy till 2025 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
