[Other] Microsoft Windows 1 Key 2 Systems | Installing Windows 10 using Windows 7 OEM Key - Legal?

Hello.
I have a question, I want to install Windows 10 from a windows 7 OEM key. So will it be illegal to install Windows 10 with original key from 7?

Win7 should update your system on this key by itself download the win 10 installation assistant. Https://support.microsoft.com/pl-pl/help/3159635/windows-10-update-assistant

I meant to install the system on another computer

And there is no such option, win10 will not be up to date. You must purchase a new key.

OK, but when I get the key from win 10, can I install win 10?

Yes it is.

I meant something else ... I have this OEM license from a laptop with win10 installed.
So if I take this key and give it to another computer it will be legal

A colleague has already written.

It cannot be a key used previously.

I assume that you mean the key to Win7 because the "ten" is activated on a different principle. If you own both computers, the issue of legality no longer matters.

I will just add that it may be necessary to contact a consultant by phone and activate it this way. I assume that the key is used only on one computer.

In terms of legality - the OEM system license is assigned to the machine with which it was purchased and on which it was activated for the first time. Installation on another machine does not comply with the license.

According to my colleague, does this mean that if I have two computers, it entitles me to illegally use the licensed software on the latter?

In this case (moderator's question) is no. We assume that the license is for one machine (

Extending, he will quote because I'm not that "smart":
"It all depends on the license in question. Licensing rules differ from country to country. In addition, there are several types of OEM and they differ depending on the product and country of origin of the license.

The fact that a given user does not break European law does not mean that he is not breaking the license terms. At the same time, it is obvious that Microsoft's product licensing terms are in line with applicable law. "

Well, everything is known )
