I want to do a fresh install of windows 10.

I already have a Windows 7 pro key.

I always thought I have to install windows 7 first, then upgrade it.
But a friend said he directly intalled windows 10, with his windows 7 licence key.

Is it a glitch? Or is it possible now to do a fresh install of Windows 10 with my windows 7 key?

I'm not exactly sure how it works, but I think if the Windows 7 key has already been used to activate Windows 10 on your computer, you don't need to do it again because the activation license is somehow connected to your computer/motherboard and MS will automatically know.

I think Microsoft made a tool that will take your 7 key and use it to download and install 10, try seeing if it recognizes your key or not, otherwise I would take the upgrade path.

I have an OEM key on my Thinkpad and had to upgrade from 7, but now I can just do a fresh install of 10 and it'll work. I don't know what happens if I try on another computer though, probably won't work.

just pirate it dude, fuck the morals

It's been possible since November, you just need to get the updated ISO from MS site if you only have the one from back in July.

Microsoft has backdoored its disk encryption.

In Windows 10, the universal back door is no longer hidden; all “upgrades” will be forcibly and immediately imposed.

Windows 8 also has a back door for remotely deleting apps.

Windows 8's back doors are so gaping that the German government has decided it can't be trusted.

Microsoft is repeatedly nagging many users to install Windows 10.
https://archive.is/bwzXF

Microsoft informs the NSA of bugs in Windows before fixing them.

Windows 10 snoops on the users' files, text input, voice input, location info, contacts, calendar records and web browsing history.

Windows 10 sends identifiable information to Microsoft, even if a user turns off related settings.

Microsoft uses Windows 10's “privacy policy” to overtly impose a “right” to look at users' files at any time.
Windows 10's full disk encryption gives Microsoft a key. https://archive.is/qLRZx

Microsoft SkyDrive allows the NSA to directly examine users' data.

Windows 10 sends screenshots of your desktop to Microsoft.

With the threshold 2 you can I believe. But just do a upgrade first then a clean format:

this is latest iso:
