![]() They were mystified why there wasn't a way to enter a product key from their previous edition of Windows, as had been possible with pre-10 versions.Īccording to Aul, that's now possible in build 10565. Not all of those users complained about trouble activating Windows 10 outside of the OS's new process - which originally did not rely on actual product keys, the alphanumeric codes issued with legit licenses - but many were stymied if Windows 10 didn't do its job, or if they had done an install-from-scratch without first upgrading a Windows 7 or 8.1 device. When Aul said, "a lot of feedback," he wasn't kidding: Microsoft's Windows 10 support forum dedicated to activation, among other topics, sports some threads with hundreds of thousands of views and hundreds - in one case more than a thousand - of posted messages. "We have received a lot of feedback from Insiders on making it easier to activate Windows 10 on devices that take advantage of the free upgrade offer to genuine Windows by using existing Windows 7, Windows 8 or Windows 8.1 product keys," wrote Gabriel Aul, engineering general manager for Microsoft's OS group, in a Monday post to a company blog.
