How could I use the Windows 8 CD key in my HP pavilion 11 x360 to install and activate Windows 10 home on my desktop?
My fiancees desktop needed to be reinstalled so I downloaded the Win10 iso from Microsoft and made an install USB.
Since the install promoted me for a product key I just ran ProduKey on an old HP laptop with shipped with Windows 8 and I since before had upgraded to Windows 10.
I wrote down the key for Windows 8 stored in the bios and used it during the install.
It got both accepted and activated.
How was this possible?
