Activate Windows 10

It wouldn't matter if the license is OEM or retail in your case.

The license can only be used to activate one computer, and not more than one.

Thanks again. Experience is something you get just after you need it.

You're always most welcome.

Thanks Bree,

Right there man... me being Tommy Boy... "I'm an IDIOT". Man, I'm sorry. Brain fart. This licensing thing... anyway... sorry.

I can confirm that old unused Windows 7 product keys do in fact work as Windows 10 activation keys. I recently upgraded 2 PC's, one of which was a brand new install of Win 10 (Home), and the other a motherboard replacement for an existing PC running Win 10 (Pro). Back in the day you used to be required to install Win 7, activate it, THEN do a Win 10 upgrade from within the Win 7 GUI-- thankfully that is no longer the case-- I had heard rumors that Microsoft relented and changed the system to allow older Win 7 keys as Win 10 activation keys directly-- I just ran them yesterday from a set of Win 7 keys that were never activated. Both were activated to their respective editions of Windows 10 perfectly.

That requirement to upgrade first only applied for the initial release of 1507. It was removed very quickly when 1511 came out. Been like that ever since.

Hi Shawn, Is there any reason why running SLUI 4 might not result in anything happening- no dialogue box..?

Example:
cant get slui 4 to run

Thanks!

Hey mate,

Could be file corruption. Might see if SFC may fix it if so.
