Windows 10: Can U upgrade win 7 enterprise to win 10 equivalent

Hi , I picked up a cheap second hand laptop with win7 enterprise from a carboot sale and have 2 issues .( Its all working fine albeit a bit slow ) I want to give this to my grandkids for homework etc .

1 : Am I able to upgrade to win 10 from 7 enterprise as I did with other win7 pro , win 8.1 home machines .

2: Although I can get into windows from a cold start when it wakes from sleep theres an admin password which I dont know cos the seller didnt mention this and i forgot to enquire .

Thanks for reading , any help appreciated

:)

 

Win10 activation using Win7 Product Key upgrading product version variant also

You cant upgrade from home to Enterprise and win 10 enterprise is not included in the free upgrade.

You can only get WIN 10 Enterprise as a trial or from a volume licensing center.

And no a fresh win 7 Enterprise would not "upgrade" to win 10 Enterprise for free. Contact VLC or purchase Pro

Volume Licensing Service Center

 

Windows Enterprise edition - Upgrade advisor windows 10

Where can I find an Windows 10 upgrade advisor for Win 7
Enterprise?

KB3035583 is referred to as being the upgrade advisor but this is just for regular Win 7/8 versions, not for enterprise.

Kind regards

 

No you cannot upgrade from 7 Enterprise to 10 Enterprise via the free upgrade offer. Enterprise customers are excluded. To go to 10 enterprise, enterprise customers need to purchase a new license.
If you go into the Power Options there is an option to turn off the password request when coming out of sleep mode.
Your current Windows 7 enterprise license is not legal by the way. They are not legal for resale. And don't be surprised if it fails activation at some point. Just a heads up. If it was me I'd be looking into installing a legally activated owned by you OS. Does it have a COA sticker on it with a readable product code on it? If yes that code can be used to legally install Windows on it.

 

Thanks , I decided to format the drive and install a genuine retail copy of win 7 home I had . I kind of thought the installed enterprise win 7 was not quite legit which I don,t like .
I now have the laptop running win 10 home after doing the free upgrade on the activated win 7 home . A point of interest is the win 10 home was in a deactivated state after being installed on an activated win 7 so a half hour call to MS was needed then the activation was achieved by a very helpful tech .

 

Good stuff, all sorted and legal. Glitches happen sometimes. It should have activated automatically. Assuming you did an upgrade install and not a clean install.

 

The MS tech girl says it can occasionally happen when upgrading from win 7 SP1 to win 10 , you can go from an activated state to not activated . Yes I did do an in place upgrade and not a clean install .

Thanks

 

OK, just wanted to confirm, thanks.
