Windows 10: Windows 11 clean install from windows 10 key Full License. Key not working.

Forgive me for asking this question after 100 variations of it have been asked already.I recently built a new pc. Moved the hard drive over, no issues took right off windows 11. I want to do a clean install of windows 11. They key I have was previously associated with a windows 10 pro activation.I made a bootable windows 11. When it came to enter my product key before the install it won't work. It is entered correctly.Everything I have read has led to me believe u can do a clean install with 11 from a windows 10 key.Any help would be appreciated.

Installing Windows 10 using Windows 7 key

Nope, you need to install Windows 10 first and make sure the Windows 7 key is transferred to your Windows account after you've installed Windows 10 (not quite sure how that works). I missed the last step and I could not activate Windows 10 after a re-install... Microsoft seem to have done everything they can to make it a PITA. Also, it's technically too late to do this now anyhow, as the upgrade offer has expired. But KMSPico works quite well...

As for getting rid of Windows, delete the Windows folder.

You need to upgrade the first time around. Once you upgrade, you can use that key for a clean installation. I've done 2 clean installations with my Windows 7 key since I upgraded to 10 the first time around.

Now that I have finally upgraded from Windows 8 to Windows 10 will my Windows 8 key work with a fresh install of Windows 10?
