I have genuine windows 7 Home Premium and a product key on a usb. Any thoughts or help is always welcome. Download them, if available. Next, image your computer if you have it setup the way you want it to be. Should Windows 7 not work well, you can restore the image and save many hours of setup. I appreciate your replies.
All my current computers run the Linux system. It will just be mining crypto coins around the clock. Thanks for your replies again. Those Product Keys that came together with new OEM computers that were preinstalled with Win 7 are the cheaper non-transferable OEM Licenses which cannot be used to activate Win 7 on another or different computer, ie can only be used to activate Win 7 on the original or same computer.
I have Linux on an Acer laptop that came with 8. When it was ready to upgrade to 10, I went Linux Mint and never looked back.
It seems that many new computers and parts are strictly designed to run a very particular OS and it may be the case that this is true for your laptop. The issue is that the OS may not have drivers to support new hardware. Fedora eg will typically use newer Linux kernel versions and drivers before Debian does, since Debian is more fanatical about stability and does a lot of testing before release. Both of these installed incredibly fast compared to a Windows install, which is arduous.
Then you have the problem of updates. This requires a clean install, however. It will still be crunch time come , however. My solution is dual booting. I keep 7 for driver installs ASRock,for example,has no drivers for Mint , printers, and some software I own; and Mint for the rest.
I hope this is of some help. When you get the new machine, boot it up and install DoubleDriver on it and use it to back up all of the drivers. I think OldNavyGuy was simply directing his comment to those who do not use assistive technologies, but upgrade anyway, not those who do use assistive technologies, or upgrade through other legitimate routes. It will be interesting to see when MS finally cuts off any means to a free upgrade.
Clean installing Windows 10 with a Windows 7 key is also still working. Tried last time last week. It worked for me for two desktops in December. Installed Windows 10 Pro from scratch. Put Windows 7 Pro key. It activated.
You can do a clean install of Windows 10 Home with the Win 7 Home Premium key you have, on the same machine. You should image your drive first, onto a portable or desktop external hard drive just in case the upgrade fails and screws up your machine. A free OS upgrade and the only condition is that you must wear these special glasses that we will send you and that once a month patch day , we will send someone over to your house to rough you up a little, just a little.
The demand for retail W10 licenses must be anemic. I still do not know if a W10 retail license has the same privileges as my W7 retail license. Some commentards have stated that retail is the same as OEM now. MS may have created some demand with their shutdown deadline and decided to keep the free W10 upgrade there until the demand drops off.
As it is bringing in customers, it is all that counts — a business decision. Marketing have their own reality. MS is only forthcoming when it suits them.
They are much like Apple in this regard. If you find a loophole it is probably deliberate, as both these behemoths play the game above and below what is ethical. I paid for windows 3.

The convenience offered by Microsoft is acting like a honeycomb for all the greedy bees out there.
