  1. Can I reuse my old unused laptop product key in new laptop after years and years later ?


    I have old laptop that is damaged but with geniue windows 10 pro OEM product key now I have a new laptop. So if I don't use my previous laptop for years and years will I lose that windows product key . Can't I use that product key to upgrade my new laptops windows after years later.



    Does windows 10 product key becomes invalid after years or it is valid for lifetime?


    If I upgrade my windows 10 using previous laptop windows key then can I use my new laptop windows key which I got pre installed from manufacturer later whenever I want because I got home editon in new laptop and I have windows 10 pro OEM key in old laptop.

    :)

    Reuse windows 10 production key from a so-broken-old-laptop?

    I actually accidentally did some irreversible damage to my laptop, which is running on windows 10. Now I get a new one, but I would need to reuse the production key in order to have the new computer running on win10. As the old laptop is so broken that
    it won't boot, is there any way I can extract the key from it?

  3. windows 7 key reuse

    Hey guys,

    I'm selling my 1 year old laptop (laptop 2 in sig), which came with Vista OEM.
    I installed windows 7 on it with a key from MSDN. My best friend(the buyer) will format the laptop before he gives it to his sister, so I wanted to know how I can reuse my key for a new pc in the future.

    I googled a little bit, but I couldn't find a clear answer. Will I have to call Microsoft or something?

    kind regards,

    Can I reuse my old unused laptop product key in new laptop after years and years later ?

    Ever bought your company laptop ? (Leased laptop after 3 years)

    That's laughable. I'd expect 20% off the day it was removed from the box and 10% depreciation each year. The lease company is trying to fleece you because they know the old laptops are gonna go to auction and fetch far, far less.

    For a 3 year old laptop at £3000 new I'd expect to pay less than £1700.
