    Can i still use the win7 upgrade from my laptop to Win10 key on a new laptop.


    Hi


    I had a laptop where I upgraded to the new version of Win10 from win 7

    the laptop died, now I have access to a new laptop but don't have any of the keys from the upgrade, etc.


    Any suggestions I can use where I have a win7 key a new laptop that I can install win 10 but don't have the upgraded key for Win10?


    TIA

    :)

    Win7 to Win10 Upgrade & HDD/SDD Replacement (Upgrade)

    Dear Forum,

    Please find below my query. Any advice would be gratefully received - thanks in advance.

    Context:

    C1) I have a laptop (ref: laptop A) with a pre-installed version of Win7 Home Premium 64-Bit.

    C2) I seemingly have the product key for the Win 7 licence - it is shown on a sticker on the base of laptop A.

    C3) I also own a retail version of Win10, which is currently installed on another laptop (ref: laptop B).

    C4) I can seemingly update laptop A to Win10 using the 'Windows 10 Upgrade Assistant'

    C5) I have a new SSD that I would like to use in laptop A to improve it's performance.

    Aim: To install a new SSD in laptop A and install Win10 using the
    pre-installed     Win7 licence.

    Questions:

    1) What is the best way to achieve the aim?

    2) Can I simply use my Win10 retail installation pack and the new SSD with laptop A, but enter the Win7 licence key at the appropriate point?

    - UPDATE: I tried this, and the Win7 licence key was NOT accepted on the Win10 installation.

    3) Do I need to perform the Win7 to Win10 update using the 'Windows 10 Upgrade Assistant', and then attempt to upgrade the HDD to the new SDD? If so, how do I do this to preserve the Win10 update?

    This is perhaps a simple/trivial matter, but prior to taking steps it would be good to know the most appropriate route.

    Thank you.

    win10 restore from win7 laptop upgrade

    I'm knowledgeable regarding restores, my main issue is if a laptop/pc initially has win 7 and then upgraded to win 10. years after the upgrade if a restore is needed is that restore win7 or win10
