Soon you will be able to activate windows 10 with a key of windows 7 or windows 8

Windows 10 has meant an interesting change in Microsoft policy, for the first time the Redmond operating system can be obtained free of charge and forever, although for this you must install it during its first year of life and only for owners of Windows 7 or genuine Windows 8.

This has also had a drawback, if you already have Windows 10 installed and you need to format and reinstall you must install Windows 7 or Windows 8 and then upgrade to Windows 10, that is, you cannot directly install Windows 10. It is undeniable that this involves a number of drawbacks among which we can cite a significant delay in installation time when having to install two operating systems instead of just one.

Luckily Microsoft has reacted and very soon, next month, a major update to Windows 10 will arrive allowing its activation using a Windows 7 or Windows 10 serial. With this we can finally install Windows 10 directly after formatting our PC.

Insiders can already enjoy this novelty in Preview build 10565
