![]() Windows 10 has some built in tools to help with this, or if you have VL media/key for Windows 10 Pro, you could use that media to reinstall.Īlso is there available documentation on how the digital certification process for Windows 10 works? I'm not doubting you, but I'll have a lot of hurry up and wait time, while a dozen or so minimum spec machines crawl through the upgrade process.This site talks about the digital entitlement: The device is entitled to Windows 10 since you did the upgrade. at a later date want to replace the HDDs with SSDs, no issues. ![]() Though, if I put HDDs in them now, when I get SSD to upgrade with, how does that work? I've seen on a few other post here that we would need a VL to image a Win10 machine, does that apply to just using a SSD migration software (or better yet, the Linux dd command?) Or does "imaging" imply a sysprep'd image on a server? If you put HDDs in now, assign your Retail Windows licenses, perform Windows install and then Upgrade to Windows 10. All of the keys I would be doing this with are NOT installed on any running machines and any machines they might be installed on are sitting in storage waiting on someone to have the free time (Hahaha) to wipe them. * The key are individual retail Windows 8 Pro keys. Or conversely: Am I missing the point entirely and Windows 7/8 Pro key will activate Windows 10 Pro (provided it's on version 1511?) My question is thus: Can I take a fully activated Windows 10 workstation (says one of our 6200 Pros) and, going through each key, click on the "Change product key" button under Settings > Update & Security and activate each key? If no, the question would be: Is the reservation to Windows 10 tied of the product key, after completing the upgrade to Windows 10. ![]() The keys were previously used on a mix of dc7700s and dc5700s, but the desktops were either replaced with ProBook 4540s (which came with their own keys) or were piled up in the back of the storage room as the company consolidated. Hello all! I have several Windows 8 Pro keys* that are not currently on any active workstations.
