Free Windows 10 upgrade offer’s days are numbered

[Mick]

Did you try to activate Win 10 with the Win 7 key?
I did one yesterday no issue.

Footnote: For anyone a bit worried about the above, I found and fixed the problem. Turned out that the failure to activate was because the previous installation had not been activated (according to the troubleshooter) - something, I admit, that it never occurred to me to check. Reversed the changes, activated 8.1, reinstalled the update and it (Win 10) activated within seconds.
