Multiple windows 10 copies.

So what, the question has nothing to do with 7 or the legalities, it has to do with if he can with 10, I suggest you read the question, although why anyone would want more than one copy of 10 is beyond me. I doubt MS will be sending out a helicopter and a sniper because he has more than one copy as a duel boot.

Well I have a gaming OS which is games only and an every day OS that the family uses and installs whatever crap they want. So you are suggesting it is not legal to install multiple copies on the one machine? This is really what i'm trying to discover.

That would mean your using the key from an upgrade.
When you install/upgrade to 10 you need a valid key from either 8 or 7.1 to be there on the PC. Or to do a clean instillation you need a key to accomplish this.

Yes, I had an original key for Windows 7 but have now upgraded to 10. If I do a clean win 10 install now I will not be asked for a key. "Digital entitlement is a new method of activation in Windows 10 that doesn't require you to enter a product key"

I wouldn't worry mate

BunnyJ said:

Correct but you can't dual boot 10 and use the same digital entitlement key.

Now we are getting somewhere. Where does it say this?

BunnyJ said:

It is against the rules to suggest that this is a legitimate use of 10.

The MS servers will say that the hardware is legitimate to run 10.

Yes, I wonder if at anytime during the installation of a second copy will I be halted because i'm violating the license agreement.
