Step 5: Choose the version you want to install and click the upgrade options

Step 6: The download will start and install automatically in the background

If you don’t have an activated version of the previous Windows, you can download Windows 10 ISO. Then activate the Windows 10 OS using the products keys on this page. You can also use a product key find to fetch your product key. But this method only works if you had a genuine product key.

How to activate Windows 10 without a product key
It’s also possible to activate Windows 10 without a product key. This method involves using a Windows activator. Here are the steps you need to follow:

Step 1: Visit the KMSPico official website to download the tool

Step 2: Use the provided installer to install it

Step 3: Run the .exe from the installation directory

Step 4: Click the red switch button

Step 5: Give it some time for the activation process to complete

After following these steps, you will be able to activate your copy of Windows 10 successfully. You will no longer have to deal with the nagging prompts.

Frequently Asked Questions
Product ID vs. Product Key
Many people don’t know the difference between a product ID and a product key. A product ID identifies the version of Windows your computer is running. A product key is the 25-digit character key used to activate Windows.

If you have already installed Windows 10 and you don’t have a product key, you can buy a digital license to activate your Windows version.

Upgrade vs. clean installation
Another common question people ask is whether they should perform a clean installation or upgrade Windows 10. If you have a custom PC and you want to install Windows 10 from scratch, you will need to format the hard drive first.

Here are the advantages of performing a clean installation:

You can start fresh without any pre-installed trial programs
Gives you total control over the apps you need on your PC
Reduces the possibility of errors and other related issues
If you have updated to Windows 10 from an activated version of Windows 7 or 8, you will not need an activation key. That’s because there is a connection between the Windows license and the hardware you used while updating Windows. So, the upgrade will go through without providing a product key.

If you want to install Windows 10 on the same computer, you will not need:

To download the IOS file
To use DVD media or USB drive
To install from scratch by running the setup
When installing the Windows 10 set up, you simply need to skip the step that asks you to provide the activation key. When the installation process is complete, Windows 10 will activate automatically when you connect the computer to the internet. That’s because Microsoft recognizes that you have performed the clean installation process on the same machine.
