So for some reason the windows icon finally pops up on my laptop after like 7 months since Windows 10 release, so i decide to upgrade to windows 10 pro but for some reason my laptop doesn't have an activated product key. So i went ahead and bought a windows 10 pro key.
So my question is, can I use the windows 10 pro key to activate my laptop which is running windows 8.1 pro? Or should I return the windows 10 key and exchange for the 8.1 key?
EDIT: This laptop originally came with 8 pro then I updated to 8.1 pro, I used the product key provided by the laptop (That one sticker on the bottom) and it said invalid key
