Reuse of Windows 7 license after free update of Windows 10?

Hi all!

I was wondering if I'll be free to reuse my Windows 7 license key after the free upgrade to Windows 10 on July 29.

I've already reserved my copy, and yes I'm very happy. The only problem I see is because it is a version of Windows 7 OEM for Sony VAIO, so maybe it will not work if I use it in a new computer? If I can in any?

I hope that you guys understand my question and good day!

Hello

Your Windows 7 OEM license has become an integral part of the upgrade to Windows 10 process.

If you cannot reinstall Windows 7 as a dual boot either in your Sony or move it to another computer.

OEM licenses that you cannot transfer anyway.

OEM licenses are tied to the first machine, on which they are installed and die when the machine that dies.

See you soon.

    Thanks in advance for your answer.

    Hello

    No, it is not allowed.

    The key/license Windows product to describe the operating system, Windows 7, Windows 8.1, etc. is absorbed by upgrading Windows 10 during the installation process and becomes an integral part of the active Windows 10 final installation.

    The license qualifying operating system, either Windows 7 or Windows 8.1, etc. cannot be used anywhere else, or in a dual boot with Windows 10.

  • After you have installed the free updates for Vista Home Premium 64 bit, Windows will not start

    After that I installed the free updates to service pack 1, the system goes through 2 of the 3 steps, while it recharges, then the system does not boot?  To get the computer to work again, I need to run the repairer of Windows, which allows you to restore the system to an earlier point?  Does anyone have an idea how to fix this?

    Do your system restore, then:

    Click Start > right click on computer > properties > Windows updates down the lower left corner > updates installed in the lower left corner in the next window

    > then click the one that you don't want > uninstall will appear at the top > uninstall it.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    In addition, on the page where you clicked "Installed updates", click on change settings at the top left corner it

    > Change update settings in the next page of AutoUpdate to "check for updates but let me choose etc" > OK ".

    When you take a look at pending updates, you can either download/install them one at the time, namely the update causing you problems.

  • Windows 10 free update (until July 29, 2016) for Boot Camp on end of 2015 iMac?

    Hello

    Today, I noticed that this free update of Windows 10 is available until July 29, 2016.

    I didn't need to date, but will probably have to Windows soon.

    Is it possible to install this upgrade for my new iMac (retina 5K, 27 inches, end of 2015)?

    I learned that I can install only 10 Windows with Boot Camp, but none of the previous versions.

    I have a full version of Windows 7 Home Premium (DVD set & key)

    and later I bought an upgrade of Windows 8 pro (download and key).

    This help and how would it use?

    I never had the Boot Camp on this iMac.

    For now, I download the ISO from here.

    Thank you very much.

    If you are running OS 10.11 then Windows 7 is no longer an option to install through bootcamp. MS stopped support of the operating system, and therefore Apple.

    If you don't install window 10 by July 29 deadline you don't perhaps more power get it for free or to install on any device for free even if you downloaded and saved before that time. Windows 10 must be installed, so it can bind to a system configuration and report this configuration for Member States qualify for free use. After that this time, he has not stated by MS so the program will remain free or will be a purchase (once or monthly) MS said they will not charge for Windows 10, if it was installed before that deadline, the exceptions are 10 Windows for the use of the company.

    If you want to use a version of Windows on a Mac before winning 10 eye in VMWare or Parallels for Mac, or a previous instance of Mac OS X, where the old versions are supported under bootcamp.

    I got the Windows Logo 10 on my laptop satellite and I'm waiting for the free update promised by Microsoft. I want to ask about the Toshiba Recovery CD Creator. I already have my DVD ROM from Toshiba Recovery set. What could we do? Will be the Toshiba Recovery able to create a recovery disc for Windows 10 upgrade to allow me to recover my laptop for Windows 10?

    Is there one advises or precautions?

    What could I do if I want, in the future, to refresh the Windows 10 installation?

  • Windows update - Windows Update is not restore my windows/desktop computer after installing updates

    When running Windows Update is not reproduce my office and rather trashes everything.  Ysterday I left to work with over a dozen research Internet Explorer open and this morning, I get to a Windows auto update cycle, which wrecked all.  Well Yes, they are lost and of course, I can spend an hour or more to find once again but my boss is breathing down my neck, as if it was my fault.  Microsoft how inconsiderate!

    Of course, I have a solution, TURN OFF Microsoft Update but is this really what Microsoft wants?

    Please people think.

    Hi jbeech,

    No, I don't work for Microsoft and I am not associated with them in any way (other than to receive awards and certificates I earned on my own).  I'm a volunteer civilian gift free time to help other people.

    I meant nothing personal, per my comments of workflow.  I was just trying to do my best to help you avoid this problem in the future and apologize if you took it the wrong way.  I agree with you that he must restore it things automatically (as it does when you use the hibernation), but maybe that can be done (at least not always) because updates may affect items that are open and to update these programs must be closed (which makes saving them more difficult because if they look different after the update) It may not work if we try to restore them unless they can find a way to save ONLY the information and it is a much more difficult task).  This problem does not occur with an accident or an unexpected shutdown (and a complete restoration in cases does not always work as well and completely that we hope - at least I had problems back exactly where I was with all that every time).

    While you can choose to turn off automatic updates, you don't want to not go for very long without updating your system, so checking periodically (although if you want to do on a daily basis - I would try at least every Wednesday at least since most updates are released every Tuesday) is important in all cases.  The option I suggested (i.e. automatic downloads but no facilities) would at least them already downloaded (you would not need to check - that they would be there) it would take much less time to choose and install if you show if off completely - and when you decide to install, you will find it takes MUCH more time because you need to download and install (unless they are already downloaded).  But it is entirely up to you.

    Good luck and best wishes!

I thought why? He said you can install the free full version but I couldn't activate it and some features would not be activated and pushed for me to buy a copy. I asked him how a free upgrade to a version full of paralyzed 10 = inactive and feature windows. And he gave me a sales pitch classic "even, I had to buy it.

    2 don't let Windows 10 try to activate after upgrade or you enter your product key from CoA during the procedure to upgrade [instead of click on the command to ignore this dialog]?

    3 I think you could reasonably retry the upgrade but do so using a USB installation rather than the upgrade itself.

    • I have no reason to suspect TenForums of publication of poor procedures but I saw not all reports in this forum of users who have tried this procedure.
    • When I move from another computer in a few weeks, I'll use this procedure to create the GenuineTicket file but I will consider it as an additional tool that could help me if I hit all activation issues.

    3.3 then run upgrade, indeed, as a repair installation [also referred to as an upgrade in Place] procedure.  There are instructions to repair the 10 Windows Installer with an upgrade in place - Windows 10 Forums] & in a thread of forum in this topic about How to perform an upgrade using the ISO for Windows 10 file repair Skip enter a key product during the installation process, regardless of the procedure that you use.
