I have a genuine windows 8.1 laptop. One of my friend downloaded and made a windows pro pen drive and installed it. Can I install windows 10 pro using the same USB and stay genuine or Do I have to download windows home ?
Answer
You will have the chance to upgrade to 10 via windows update if you registered/register to get the upgrade. It will downloaditself and after it's complete you will be able to upgrade your 8.1 pro to 10 pro.
Copied this:
"By default, Windows 10 builds are pre-keyed, meaning, you do not have to enter a product key and should not be prompted to enter one even after Windows 10 has completed setup if you upgraded from a activated Windows 7 or Windows 8 or Windows 8.1 license."
from here
Other parts of the article say, once you have upgraded to 10 (from 7, 8, 8.1) and activated it you can reinstall competely.
Can I perform a clean install using the Free upgrade? No, it will require that you are running a previous qualifying version and start the upgrade from within the qualifying version. You can initiate a clean install after completing the Upgrade.
Which to which:
