Next Month, You'll Be Able to Activate Windows 10 with Windows 7 and 8 Product Keys
Upgrading to Windows 10 is easy if you’re already on Windows 7 or 8. However, if you want a clean install, you have to install an older version first. Next month, the first big update to Windows 10 will fix this.
According to a post on the Windows Insider blog, Microsoft is currently rolling out a new activation method that will allow Windows 10 users to enter a product key from Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 to activate Windows 10. This should be much easier than the current method which essentially requires you to install Windows twice.
Next month it will be a lot easier to activate Windows on a clean install.
