Hi!

My gool is to install win 10 on my laptop!


I have a computor with Win 8.1 enterprise where the product key stoped working. Probably because it´s been an office computor.

I have tried to activate windows with the computors product key but it´s not working. l tried to buy a new product key but when I klicked the link the comment is: You cant buy a product key online right now. Pleas try again later, or buy elsewhere.


I thought that it was a good idea to reset the computor and start over with a new version of win 10, so I bought a productkey for win 10, downloaded a installfile on a usb, Changed the start option i Bios to USB and tried to uninstall tha old version. It seems to be hard to get rid of win 8.1....

I even tried to change the name enterprise to professional in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion...


Is there a way to install win 10 with (win 10 product key) on this computor?


Does it work to buy a new product key elsewhere and activate win 8.1 and then uppgrade to win 10?


Kind regards


Peter
