My son’s computer is running Windows 7 64 bit and I want to upgrade it to Windows 10 Home 64 bit. Of course I want to spend as little as possible for the license/upgrade and I found a couple on eBay that are pretty cheap Error Page | eBay
and Microsoft Windows 10 Home 64 Bit Full Version | Brand New | eBay
Are these licenses legit and will let me upgrade to Windows 10?
How would free suit you? You don't need to buy a key, you can still upgrade for free.
Upgrade to Windows 10 from Windows 7 for Free
@All
Be aware the link in the OP points to an illegitimate product.
The part number starting with X18 is for Windows 8.1 Besides, I do not think MS has ever released a DVD version of Win 10.
Thanks that’s why I was asking if it was legit but doesn’t matter I would rather have free anyway. Apparently the free upgrade still works so that’s great hopefully if I just follow the tutorial it will go smoothly.
I’m not sure I will have to check but my son might have Windows 7 Pro is that going to make a difference in the upgrade?
They do, but they are only for OEM System Builders.

For the upgrade you can download to the desktop or create a bootable flash drive.
To increase the likelihood of success perform the following steps:
1) Uninstall all antivirus software using the applicable uninstall tool.
(This includes Microsoft Security Essentials)
2) Uninstall all firewall software
3) Uninstall any non-Microsoft encryption software
4) Place the computer into clean startup:

5) Perform an in place upgrade repair:

I guess I'm a little confused I understand 1) - 4) but not 5)... I thought I was supposed to follow this tutorial to upgrade from Windows 7 to Windows 10 Upgrade to Windows 10 from Windows 7 for Free
