Activating Windows 10 with a 8.1 product key - does this work?

Thanks for the reply.

I guess the sticking part for me is this is an OEM version. I had the computer built for me by a system builder in Canada. I did do the Win 10 upgrade during the time period, but I never actually installed Win 10. I honestly can't remember how that worked, but I clicked a button to upgrade and then declined to actually install the upgrade.

Should I even bother upgrading to Windows 10? I use 8.1 at home and 10 at work, and they both seem functionally pretty much the same. Are there performance gains with 10 that I'm not aware of?
