Check to see if a computer has been previously upgraded to Windows 10
Hi all
I have a burning question that I have not been able to find an answer to...
How do I find out if a computer has been previously upgraded to Windows 10 from 7/8/8.1 and has a digital licence (after it has been restored to the original OS)?
I've been in touch with Microsoft and their support is less than convincing.
(Long story short, I have bought a job lot of laptops that have been restored to factory settings. Before I sell them on, it would be nice to have them running on Windows 10 for free (if they were upgraded by the original owners and subsequently have a digital licence, requiring no product key.) I don't want to install Windows 10 from scratch to find out I cannot activate it and I have deleted the old Windows OS installation and recovery partition).
Thanks!
