Windows 10: purchase key - how it works

So far, you cannot purchase a key for the final version of Windows 10. However, you can already install the Technical Preview version of Windows 10. You also need a key for the not yet completed Windows 10 version. You do this as follows:

Purchase key from Windows 10 - already possible for the technical version

1. You can already install a beta version of Windows 10. You can get this from our download portal.
2. Click on the "Download" button.
3. The ISO file for the Windows 10 beta version is then downloaded directly.
4. You can then install the operating system on your PC, ideally on an additional partition. Alternatively, install the previous version in a virtual machine.
5. During the installation you have to enter the key for Windows 10. This is: "6P99N-YF42M-TPGBG-9VMJP-YKHCF" (without the quotation marks).

You can buy a valid key for the finished Windows 10 version digitally for the Windows 10 release in autumn 2015 or purchase it commercially. However, you can also upgrade your valid version of Windows 7 to Windows 10.
