Windows 10 Creators Update Can Be Activated with Windows 7 and 8.1 Product Keys
#1
Basically, this means that if you clean-install the Windows 10 Creators Update and you own a Windows 7 or 8.1 OEM product key for your computer, you can easily activate the system by simply entering the original license in Settings > Update & security > Activation.

This a feature that Microsoft first introduced in October 2015 as part of the Windows Insider program, as Windows 10 originally required users to upgrade to Windows 10 using an activated copy of Windows 7 and 8.1.
