I have been putting off upgrading from Windows 7 to Windows 10 since it released but I finally am about to have to do the upgrade and I want to do it completely clean. I'm talking deleting all partitions, reformatting, and installing clean.
I heard that you can do the upgrade first, then a clean reinstall after and windows 10 will activate automatically or something.
I heard if you do it clean from the start, that you have to type in your windows 7 key and that will get you activated in windows 10.
I also said there were issues with these methods so I wanted to ask if anyone knows currently, if the clean install method with a windows 7 key works good?
My concern is that I will wipe my system clean and then the windows 7 key will not activate windows 10... I dont think I will find this out until it is too late and it would cause a major pain.
I need to do it fresh this way cause my current windows 7 setup is screwed somehow.. it seems there are some corruptions that cause things not to install correctly or at all so I just want to start fresh.
Thanks
