I don't think ram or secondary HDD or graphics card's effect windows genuine activation but if you change your motherboard or primary HDD i know you have to reactivate your copy.

How many time have you used that key as microsoft will only let you activate 5 times for that key so if you have had that key on different systems that might cancel the key

It's a laptop and I only have re-installed windows 7 from the hidden partition once.

Yeah I went to that site, why do I need to buy a key?
I won't buy a key, stupid.

I'll revert back to windows 7 then.

When I still was on windows 7, about a year ago I added 4GB extra ram which is a total of 8GB now,
is that causing the problem?

see my earlier post keep retrying the button i had 8 fails then it activated on the 9th, their servers Are busy i spose.

Yeah thanks I was reading that but the problem is that I did not had a button to activate, I only got this:

Error code" 0xC004C003
The activation server determined the specified product key has been blocked.

The only options was going to the store and buy a key, or if I had another key I could change the key

I'm reverting back to windows 7 now.

I may try again later, when microsoft says that I can upgrade.
I have forced it now and it did not activate this way.

does anyone know of a way to upgrade from 7 to 10 directly, I upgraded to 10 but my upgrade failed(froze half way through and pc would not boot anymore) so I had to reinstall 7 upon reinstalling and updating I have no windows GWX anymore and no reservation in windows update because the update to get GWX is not present anymore. I tried the media creation tool and tried to upgrade but then 10 won't activate after installing(windows is stuck in notification mode) it so I had to reinstall 7 again.

any ideas.

Jetster · Jul 30, 2015

Did you try downloading the ISO and do a clean install?

I just wanted something to put on a VM without commiting the Win7 key to Win10.

I didn't have to enter a key when installing to final .iso so it's all well.

Sweet...

FordGT90Concept · Jul 30, 2015

So there's no way to clean install Windows 10 using a 7 key?

Probably a 30-120 day trial.

I tried that, windows would not activate

the update(P4-630 posted) installed but GWX will not run, I think it might have consumed my reservation or something the first time, in regedit it says reduced now also.

Thanks, I'm downloading right now but as it was posted here, if you don't go the upgrade path it will fail to activate.

You cant install via ISO, first you must upgrade via the link then after upgrade, get your new key for windows 10. then you can install from disc.

You need the serial from the upgrade.

YOU MUST UPGRADE FIRST.

did you use the media creation tool then chose upgrade?

I did, 'upgrade now' had issue with activation first time. So rolled back to previous windows only took 5 mins. option for roll back is in control panel

Second time, same process but just mashed the activate button and it activated finally. guess the servers were just busy on day 1 release.

KainXS · Jul 30, 2015

gonna try that then thanks, tried the iso method but did not work.

Is the product key called product ID in windows 10?...if so is that the key we now keep for future installs or reinstalls?

EDIT:
I found this program and it works on windows 10 and the program will give you the product key.

Ok so I'm back to windows 7 now, did a system restore in windows 7 since aero and some services were not working, all fine now!

What folder(s) can I now safely remove from my C drive? (folders from win10 upgrade)

I just found out that the GWX does NOT run anymore on my main windows 8.1 as well! (I did not reserve it on this laptop though)
Maybe microsoft is getting a lot of complaints and they may have stopped the upgrading for now?

FordGT90Concept · Jul 30, 2015

I did some reading and it sounds like you need to upgrade Windows 7/8.1 to Windows 10 first so that it generates a hardware profile and once you do, you can then do a clean install of Windows 10 in the future choosing to "skip" the product key and it will show up as activated.

The two versions have to match: e.g. Windows 7 Home -> Windows 10 Home.

Edit: GWX isn't running on my computer anymore.

KainXS · Jul 30, 2015

just got done reinstalling 10 and what reefer said worked it seems, install via the media creation tool and pick upgrade and it upgraded and activated.

KainXS · Jul 30, 2015

I thought microsoft said that pirated versions of windows would not upgrade or something?

It seems the pro key works for 32bit also(downloaded it by mistake and used it thinking it was 64bit)

The way it tags HWIDs as "upgraded" and uses a generic key, it is still possible they can rescind a pirates activation, giving them only a taste.

I find this unlikely and feel they would rather everyone just migrated whatever the cost, but there is still that possibility. We have no idea what metadata is logged along with your mobos HWID. It wouldn't surprise me really if there is a "this person was a pirate" flag they can use later depending on their mood.

The product key is generic to all upgraded clients:

VK7JG-NPHTM-C97JM-9MPGT-3V66T... That's W10 Pro's generic one.

And no, I didn't just hack you and pull that from your computer... everyone who upgrades shares it. It only works though if your HWID is tagged as upgraded.

Reefer86 · Jul 30, 2015

Glad you got it sorted @KainXS

theonedub · Jul 30, 2015

Thought about it and didn't want to go through a fresh install just yet, did the upgrade install to Win 10 Pro 64 and everything looks to be working fine on my main PC. Activated automatically and everything still works, just have to get new Nvidia drivers.

Jetster · Jul 30, 2015

Upgraded too. Everything working well. Smooth transition. My Nvidia drivers came back after another reboot.
