I had Windws 7 with fake serial which I got converted to genuine one in a promotional offer during launch of Windows 8. I thus upgraded my WIndows 7 to WIndows 8 and now to windows 10. I wish to refresh or reinstall windows 10 . Please let me know what problems will I face? I have a Windows 8 genuine key with which can I install windows 10 directly or the key is different for win 8 n win 10?where wud I get the key for Windows 10. I dont have Windows 10 DVD too as I used to upgrade from Win 7 to Win 8 through online installer and from windows 8 to windows 10 through Windows store upgrade. How to get windows 10 refreshed in this case?Do I have to install 7 again and then get it updated to windws 8 then to win 10?

Your best bet is to reinstall Win 8 with legit key. After that download and upgrade to Win 10 from here:
Windows 8 serial key won’t work for Windows 10. get windows 8 and update it to 1 early ….as after jully u wont be able to upgrade to windos 10 free. u will need to purchase w10 ..
Settings > Update and Recovery > Recovery > Reset this PC
You can do this “N” number of times and you wont be prompted to enter the windows 10 serial number
and also you will be asked for serial number only when you try to install any OS via BIOS menu [After Upgrade from windows 7/8/8.1 to windows 10]
So, you can download official windows 10 ISO from microsoft. Mount it and initiate the install process within the operating system
and in the upgrade options , select files only for best results

You have to install Windows 8 again with genuine serial key and then if offer is still there you can upgrade to Windows 10 for free.
Windows 8 serial key won’t work for Windows 10, so you first have to install Windows 8.
