new install with Win7 key
Hi
I know that you can still do a clean 10 install with a Win7 key & activate
There is some question as to if that gives you a valid licence. Activation is not proof of a valid lic.
Reason I ask , is MS stated the the 'free upgrade' from 7 was for a specific peroid of time.
I cant find anywhere with a definite statement from MS that upgrades (with 7 key) after that time will be classed as a vaild install & lic , or vice versa
Does anyone have definite info , not just assumptions ? I assumed it would be a valid licence , others have claimed it isnt .
I know it works & you can do it regardless, but thats not the question
With 7 being end of life next year, using the 7 key to upgrade to 10 would be a cheap option for small companies , if still ~legal~ to do so.
