Genuine Windows 10 Activation

Starting with Windows 10, Microsoft is using what they call "Digital Entitlement" to Activate copies of the Windows 10 Operating System; the easiest way to do this is just to Upgrade for Free from an Genuine Activated  copy of Windows 7, 8, or 8.1; You have until July 29th, 2016, to take advantage of the Free Upgrade. If you prefer a nicer Clean Install of Windows 10 instead of Upgrading that too is now also possible as of the most recent Windows 10 build this November or December. All you have to do is use your Genuine Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 Product Key; when Prompted by the Installer. That Key acts like your new Windows 10 Key. Important thing to remember about Windows 10 Activation is that you don't need to keep track of the Product Key; because after Installation, Microsoft registers information about your Computer's Hardware and BIOS. Thus, it will automatically Activate upon the first PC boot to the Desktop. (If you are connected to the Internet) This also means that for instance if Upgraded from Windows 7 Professional or Ultimate your PC will be registered on Microsoft's Servers with an Windows 10 Pro License Key. (There's no Windows 10 Ultimate) So, you'll have to do a Clean Install of Windows 10 Pro, to remain Genuine.

Current Windows 10 build (cited: Wikipedia): Version 1511 (OS Build 10.0.10586.36) (December 17, 2015; 24 days ago)
