Windows 10 wont accept my key

[Renaldo Xhahu]

So I decide to upgrade to windows 10 from my current windows 7 starter...
I didn't do an upgrade but I just did a clean install (which might be what I did wrong) and when I tried to insert the key that came with my laptop, windows says it doesn't work....
What can I do now?

Reinstall Windows 7 with your key then upgrade. Once you do the upgrade you then should be able to clean install if you want.

Just do a fresh Win7 install with the key then upgrade it.

Well you have a Windows 7 key not a Windows 10 key, so you'll have to do a reinstall of Windows 7 with your key and then do the upgrade.
So that's why that isnt working.
