Upgrade
The first step of our Windows 10 in-place upgrade is to perform the intermediate upgrade from Windows XP to Windows Vista.
You do not need a product key to perform this upgrade, and you do not need to activate Windows Vista once the upgrade is complete.
Use the following instructions to perform the in-place upgrade from Windows XP to Windows Vista.
After the first step of our example Windows XP to Windows 10 in-place upgrade is complete, we now have Windows Vista with Service Pack 2 plus Office Pro 2003 with Service Pack 3.

Thanks for fixing the links and for the guide. Quick question, if I activate Windows 7 after upgrading from XP to Vista to 7… then I shouldn’t need a product key for Windows 10 as long as it’s before the end of the month, correct? Windows 10 upgrade from the activated Windows 7 should do it automatically, correct? Or do I just skip activating Windows 7 and then use my Windows 7 Product Key to activate Windows 10? Thanks in advance.
Hi Ujn,
That is correct, if you first activate Windows 7 and then upgrade to Windows 10, just press skip when prompted for a key during the upgrade process. When the upgrade is complete, Windows 10 will be automatically activated.
You can currently use a Windows 7 key to activate Windows 10, but only with new installations (i.e. not upgrades).
The free upgrade to Windows 10 ends on 29th July 2016.
Kind Regards,
Chris.
Only the first 3 pages of this guide work… Page 4, 5, 6 & 7 are missing.
Hi Ujn,
I really appreciate you letting me know about this. It seems the article has become broken after a WordPress plugin update a while ago. My apologies!
Should be fixed now.
Thanks again,
Chris.
