[QUOTE="Solarquest, post: 439796, member: 25489"] As far as I know, when you upgrade from win 8.1 no key is needed since you already have one. When you update and connect to internet, Microsoft will " see" it. Noxt time you install win 10 again, no key needed, when asked, press "skip". You can see your current key as the windows 10 one with a simple script.

The original way is to first update, then clean install. I did it this way and had no problems at all.
