Questions on Windows 10 and licencing/upgrading

I had Windows 8.1 Pro N on my computer, with a serial, that was from the MSDNAA programm. I was able to reserver Win 10, and when it came out, I put the ISO on an USB stick, because I didn't want to upgrade. I wanted a fresh install (I just like fresh installs). Now, I couldn't use my Win 8.1 key, which sucks!


I'm getting the message, that something is not right with the key. So what I did was buying a Win 7 Professionel version. Now, when it arrives, can I enter the licence key directly in Win 10 or do I have to install Win 7, reserve the upgrade, upgrade, and then do a clean install?


Is it even possible to upgrade from Win 7 to 10 when I have a key, that gets activtated AFTER the first day of the Win 10 release?
Many questions need answers! Thanks in advance for your help.
