Windows Vista to 10 upgrade using windows 7 key?

I have a Windows Vista laptop that I want to upgrade to Windows 10. I found a webshop that sells OEM keys for both Windows 10 Professional and Windows 7 Professional. The latter is cheaper and contains a free upgrade to 10.


I downloaded the USB installer for Windows 10 from the Microsoft website. Can I successfully run this installer using an unused Windows 7 Professional OEM key, or do I have to install Windows 7 first?


When I looked for answers on this site, I found conflicting answers (1/2/3).
