I'm already on W10 - was/am running the technical preview. Not sure if I want to reinstall from scratch though.

And I've confirmed that a pirated Windows 7 Ultimate, and a pirated Windows 8.1, will activate successfully after an upgrade
Going to see if I can use the product ID when I do a clean install again , see if the key stays the same everytime, just for "science"

How? I installed it... activated illegally... upgraded to windows 10... and let it activate by itself
Clean install onto a virgin disk? Or perhaps just a continuation of your Insider subscription with MSA?And I've confirmed that a pirated Windows 7 Ultimate, and a pirated Windows 8.1, will activate successfully after an upgrade

the windows 7 is definitely not a continuation of the insider program, that was running, and still is, a local account
the windows 8 was logged in with my MSA, as is my personal laptop which is running insider preview since about 2 weeks ago.
Question was: How did you pirate Windows 7, so it went through WGA process? Not about how did you upgrade to Windows 10.

used a windows 7 dac/dag (or something) loader, and could get updates from there. does that answer your question?
Perfect. Next Q. Do you still have Loader active on every boot?

I just clicked on [reserve] and that was all.
Only key troubles I had was doing the upgrade, in fact after that without having it activated and having my w10 key removed via kms results, I did a clean install and it was perfect. No issues except the display driver loop install which I will look at later tonight.
It will probably show when you run executable again. It would give you an option to uninstall (if installed).
This leads to potential conflict, as after upgrade to Win 10 keys will be different.
Which version of Loader did you use?
