upgrade product key problem
I have a desktop with Windows 7 Pro 64 bit. I tried to upgrade so I could dual boot W7 and W10 I created an ISO DVD successfully and went to use it. I booted from the DVD and when it asked for my product key ( assume it wanted the W7 key) I entered the key xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx that is on the disk that I got with the computer. It was not accepted. I looked at properties on the W7 and it was xxxxx-OEM-xxxxxxx-xxxxx. Can't figure how to enter it. SO... I pressed "Change product key and entered the id on the genuine windows 7 pro 64 bit installation disk. It accepted it as legitimate but still shows the product key with the OEM key. I am at a loss as to how to do the custom installation so I can dual boot W7 or W10. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
