Now lets see how to activate and license it.Īs mentioned earlier you don’t need any Windows 10 license key and if you are prompted for it then click to enter it later, but here is how Microsoft 365 Windows licensing works. Now the PC is part of the Azure AD domain. Now enter the email address and password of a Microsoft 365 global administrator and press Next. Next click ‘Join this device to Azure Active Directory’ Now click ‘Access work or school’ then Connect. Once you have upgraded Windows to 10 Pro you now need to Join it to your Azure AD.Ĭlick on the start menu then click the Settings icon. Or you can choose to create a USB drive, DVD or ISO of the install media so you can perform a fresh install. Here you can choose to upgrade the PC now and keep all of the files and programs. Or you can use it to create an ISO image so you can perform a fresh install. To upgrade you can you any installation media you have but the easiest option is to download the Windows 10 Media Creation Tool and initiate an in place upgrade with that. Just install 10 pro and skip any license key requests. You DO NOT NEED A LICENSE KEY to install Windows 10. If you have Windows 7 home edition then you must purchase a copy of Windows 7 or 10 pro and install that or upgrade first.Īssuming you are upgrading Windows 7 Pro edition then all you need to do is do an inplace upgrade or simply wipe the PC and do a fresh install. I don’t understand this, they should just give it to you as part of the subscription but there you go. Microsoft 365 licenses include a subscription to Windows 10 Business (Pro) edition but for a PC to be eligible it must have a valid Windows 7 Pro license key.
