Remember the free upgrades from Windows 7 and 8 that MS offered two years ago ?
They are still in effect. If you have a valid 7 or 8 product key simply enter it on your Windows 10 install and it will activate.
So don't pay MS over 100 dollars for Win 10 Pro. If you don't have a product key already, buy a for parts Win7 Pro PC on Ebay that still has a readable and good key attached to it. There are literally millions of them available on Ebay for less than 30 dollars.
If you can't use it for parts or anything else recycle it. You'll have saved over 70 dollars on the cost of Windows 10 Pro.
Here's an example of one for $14.99
