Quote:How to activate Windows 10 with a Windows 7 license

So the first thing you should do is to install Windows 10 on your computer. Because a product key will be required, you can use a generic license according to the Windows 10 version you try to install:

Code:

Windows 10 Home – YTMG3-N6DKC-DKB77-7M9GH-8HVX7
Windows 10 Pro - VK7JG-NPHTM-C97JM-9MPGT-3V66T

You can also install Windows 10 as a trial if the option is provided (this depends on your installation media), which basically lets you try out the operating system for a maximum period of 30 days. When you’re already on Windows 10, follow the next path to find the activation section that lets you input your Windows 7 product key and activate the operating system:

Code:

Settings > Update & Security > Activation

Click the option that reads Change product key and then input your Windows 7 license key. If everything is correct, then the process should be completed successfully and Windows 10 should now be activated.
