    Normally, you never had to enter a Windows product key through Microsoft's website to download the ISO. And, each Windows 10 ISO contains Home and Pro.

    If I upgraded to Windows 10, could I use this ISO to reinstall on a new HDD?
     
    I upgraded to a 250GB SSD boot drive from my small 120gb but so far haven't used it because I didn't have an ISO.

    Intel i7 4770k l ASUS MAXIMUS HERO VII l EVGA GTX980 SC 4GB l 16GB DDR3 2100Mhz l CoolerMaster 850W Modular PSU l 128GB OCz Vertex 3 Boot Drive l 2x1 TB Storage Drives l 3 x 200GB IDE/SATA Storage Drives l HAF 922 Custom l Logitech X-540

    If I did the free upgrade will that key work on a new from scratch install using this ISO?
     
    Been thinking about reformatting my system, but I don't want to lose my Windows 10.


    Not my fault if you're offended.

    Yes, kidcrumb.
     
    Yes, fearpoint.  If your computer doesn't use the firmware to store the Windows key, just enter your Windows 7 or 8.x key when prompted.
     
    ------------------
     
    Even if you haven't upgraded your Windows 7 or 8.x computer yet and use this ISO, it will still upgrade without issue even though Microsoft said the upgrade stopped July 29, 2016.
     
    At any time, if you don't want to enter a key when prompted, at the bottom select "I don't have a product key."  You'll have a few days before you will be asked to activate before it disables Windows features, etc.
     
    ------------------
     
    Clean Install:  Better to boot from the disc/USB - not Reset This PC.
    Upgrade:  Run disc/USB within Windows; is more reliable when running it from portable media vs Windows Update.
