The Education upgrade doesn't apply to reinstalling Windows. Use the original Windows edition when reinstalling Windows. The original product key or [firmware-embedded product key](#what-is-a-firmware-embedded-activation-key) is used to activate Windows.
If students require a *Windows Pro Education* key that can work on a new install of Windows, they should use [Kivuto OnTheHub](http://onthehub.com) to request a key before graduation.
