Jul 31, 2015 Windows 7 key to windows 10 key conversion Hello there, Currently I am using windows 10 insider preview which now appears as windows 10 pro in System settings. I have downloaded a clean iso of latest version of windows 10 but while installing it prompts me for key. Well i have windows 7 home basic key on my Genuine DVD. Kindly help me in. What would be really nice is if you could go to Microsofts website, put in a valid Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 serial number and it convert it to a Windows 10 serial number. I have a few keys laying around. I wish I could convert them instead of having to install Windows on a computer with the key and then do the upgrade. Just a random thought.

Luckily, Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 come with the System Image Backup tool to create a backup of your entire computer.
