Need help installing Windows 10

If you are receiving an "invalid product key" error while trying to upgrade from Windows 7 to Windows 10, it may be due to a few common issues:

1. Incorrect Product Key: Ensure that the product key you purchased is indeed valid for upgrading from Windows 7 to Windows 10. Sometimes, keys are specific to certain editions of Windows.
2. Prerequisite Updates: Make sure that your Windows 7 installation is up to date with the latest updates. Missing updates can sometimes cause issues with the upgrade process.
3. Compatibility Issues: Verify that your hardware meets the minimum requirements for Windows 10. If your system is not compatible, it may lead to installation problems.
4. Installation Media: If you are using installation media (like a USB or DVD), ensure that it is properly created and not corrupted. You can use the Media Creation Tool from Microsoft to create a new installation media.
5. BIOS/UEFI Settings: Sometimes, settings in the BIOS/UEFI can affect installation. Ensure that Secure Boot is disabled and that your boot mode (UEFI or Legacy) matches the installation media.

If the problem persists, you may want to consider contacting Microsoft Support for further assistance, as they can provide more specific guidance based on your situation.

Hi,

Was the license you purchased a 25-digit license or online?

Which update method are you trying to use – the media creation tools for updating or installation on USB mode?

Thanks
