Windows 7/8/8.1 keys for Windows 10

[JaZoN_XD]

Hi, just wondering if using Windows 7/8/8.1 keys still works to activate Windows 10? Also, do sites like Kinguin or buymicrosoftkeys work? Thanks.

Don't use grey market keys, if you want windows cheap/free just don't activate it.

 

They probably don't work any more as the upgrade is over, but there are still some ways to upgrade like with the accessbility thing.

I read lots of problems there

Do  fresh install of W10

Stay the f*ck away from Kinguin.  I don't know anything about buymicrosoftkeys.

 

But yes, you can: https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/microsoft/you-can-activate-windows-10-creators-update-with-old-windows-license-keys/

microsoftsoftwareswap on reddit can get you a windows 10 key for basically the same price as 7/8/8.1

Or you can not get a grey market key and do this: https://www.howtogeek.com/272201/all-the-ways-you-can-still-get-windows-10-for-free/

Only purchase keys or retail USB's / DVD's from authorized resellers. If you're ever unsure, ask to see proof that they indeed are an authorized reseller.

 

And as far as I'm aware, RETAIL Windows 7/8/8.1 keys should work to install the Windows 10 Creators update.
