I'm proud to say with Windows 10 Version 1607 Microsoft have taken into account almost all my feedback on Windows 10 Version 1607 Digital Deployment and Installation. For the sake of indexing I will list them all at the top. Windows 10 RS1 = Windows 10 Redstone 1 = Windows 10 Anniversary Update = Windows 10 Build 14393 = Windows 10 Version 1607 (August 2016). The latest build of Windows 10 has many names. This means the system was newly registered with the Product Activation Server becoming a new Windows 10 Pro Device. A subsequent Clean Installation of Windows 10 Pro with the Windows 7 Pro key did result in Product Activation. To ensure the system was not already a Windows 10 Pro Device I performed the installation without any product key Windows 10 Pro was not activated confirming the system was not made from a Windows 10 Pro Device (i.e. This OptiPlex 7010 never had Windows 10 Pro installed on it before. I last tested this out on an OptiPlex 7010 with its Windows 7 Pro OEM key on the (>6 months after). Windows 7 OEM/Retail and Windows 8.1 OEM/Retail keys still act as Windows 10 OEM keys during clean installation resulting in normal product activation for systems that have never previously had Windows 10 installed. This misinformation was a marketing trick to entice as many users to upgrade as soon as possible. Microsoft's marketing campaign stating the Free Upgrade Promotional Window was Valid for only 1 Year i.e. This guide is Dell Based but equally applies to all other OEMs. For more details on the latest version see Windows OEM FAQs and Downloads.

This guide was for Windows 10 Version 1607 which reaches End of Support in March 2018 and is superseded by newer versions. Thanks in advance for leaving any donations Philip.
