    An old upgrade from Win 7 to 10


    I have a desktop PC running Win 7 Pro. When a free upgrade to Win 10 was available years ago I tried to upgrade but for some reason, which I do not remember now, I reverted to Win 7 Pro. I am still running it.Now, when I upgraded Win 10 to 11 on my laptop, I would also like to upgrade Win 7 to Win 11 on my desktop, because I like it.I cannot find any traces of my installing Win 10 on my desktop. Does Microsoft keep any log of it such that I can recover my ‘Digital Entitlement’? Trying to fresh install Win 10 now it always fails at 73%.Any comments would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

    :)

    is hardware OK (Win 7) for upgrade to windows 10

    I think in one of the other PC with win 7 or win 8.1 I run media creators tools and in some step prompt/found graphics card not supported... for win 10. I didn't found alone reading specs of win 10, but the tool says me... after changed graphics card the tool said all OK and continued OK with upgrade... That I ask to reach this step in this current PC - win 7 - must be all OK for the upgrade? Or must continue to upgrade to show this?
    and got to point

    • UPGRADE this PC now
    • Create media(DVD, USB stick, ISO)
    is hardware OK (Win 7) for an upgrade to windows 10 for this PC???

    An old upgrade from Win 7 to 10

    Using Old Win 7 license to Upgrade to Win 10

    I have a PC that came with Win 7 and I upgraded it to Win 10 when the upgrade was free.

    I now have a new PC that shipped with Win 10. On the new PC I will be installing Vmware so I have a virtual machine. How can I use the Win 7 license from the old PC (and then upgrade it to Win 10) to install it on the new PC virtual PC?

    If needed I can uninstall Windows from the old PC.
