The question is this: there is a license key for Windows 8. At the moment, the transition to Windows 10 is carried out by installing Windows 8 and sequentially updating first to 8.1, then to 10.
Now I would like to immediately perform a "clean" installation and install Windows 10 without updates on the other system versions. Does anyone know how to do this at all, having a key from Windows 8?
Thank you!

A sequential update is needed (Microsoft claims that it is mandatory) in order for Windows 10 to pick up the key from Windows 8.
After the key is activated in Windows 10, you can demolish it and reinstall version 10 from scratch right away - the key will work. Checked.

1) Create a bootable disk or flash drive for Windows 10 installation
2) Install. KEY IS NOT NEEDED.
3) Activate.
4) Enjoy.
