Remnants of articles that had been published

The Windows 10 Free Upgrade Campaign ended December 31, 2017 in Japan.

However,

At the time of writing this article, some people have had a successful free upgrade from Windows 7 /8.1 to Windows 10.

The face-to-face free upgrade campaign may have ended and may actually continue.

If you read the case of a free upgrade after the free upgrade campaign, you will find the following steps.

1. Get "Media creation Tool" from Microsoft official website
2. Run Mediacreation Tool
3. Enter your Windows 7 or 8.1 product key during the upgrade to Windows 10
4. Upgrade complete

That is,

Below are the minimum requirements for a free upgrade to Windows 10.

conditions:

Have a genuine Windows 7 /8.1 product key

Generic key

The generic key is a product key assigned according to the pre-upgrade Windows edition.

It is called a "generic key" because the same product key is used for each edition.

[Windows edition]

• Windows 10 /8.1 /7 Home
• Windows 10 /8.1 /7 Professional
• Windows 10 /8.1 /7 Enterprise
• ...

Enter the product key in the process of upgrading from Windows 7 /8.1 to Windows 10, but the PC after the upgrade will be replaced with the generic key.

The information on the generic key is available on the official Microsoft website. If you are interested, please read the related link at the end of the sentence.

Confirm product key

There are two ways.

1. Use Registry Editor
2. Use ProduKey

1. Registry Editor

You can check the product key in the following hierarchy of Registry Editor.

* In some environments, BackupProductKeyDefault does not exist.

\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\SoftwareProtectionPlatform\BackupProductKeyDefault

2. ProduKey

Free software ProduKey has the function to search and list the product keys of Microsoft products such as Windows.

What you need to upgrade

Source: Microsoft ｜ Software Download

* ISO file requires 8GB capacity

• Media Creation Tool ( Direct link )
• USB flash drive
• Or ISO blanks and writable DVD blank media
• Windows 7 /8.1 product key

Upgrade or clean installation process

1. Run the media creation tool to create Windows 10 installation media
2. Change the BIOS (UEFI) settings on your PC to boot from a USB or DVD drive
3. Shut down your PC
4. Boot PC from USB flash drive or DVD
5. Start upgrade or clean installation

You will be asked to enter the product key during the upgrade.

However,

In some cases, like me, the product key input screen does not appear.

Summary

Clean installation

Generic keys are said to be unusable for a clean installation of Windows 10.

Authenticity is unknown as multiple successful clean install hits.
