Windows 10: Is it still possible to update from Windows 7 without a key?

I have an old potato PC in my house and was considering somewhere down the line building a new one.

Will I have to buy a new copy or is there a way to use that one? I'm sure the product key was lost years ago.

Also if it's possible should I update to 10 on that old PC only? It's rocking a Pentium, 1GB RAM and a 128 GB HDD.

Windows 7 update help needed

Language packs should be listed in the optional updates section of Windows Update.

As for installing Win 7, it should merely ask for the qualifying media to be inserted to the dvd drive. That's what XP upgrade install discs did when there wasn't a previous OS installed.

 

Installing Windows 10 using Windows 7 key

Nope, you need to install Windows 10 first and make sure the Windows 7 key is transferred to your Windows account after you've installed Windows 10 (not quite sure how that works). I missed the last step and I could not activate Windows 10 after a re-install... Microsoft seem to have done everything they can to make it a PITA. Also, it's technically too late to do this now anyhow, as the upgrade offer has expired. But KMSPico works quite well...

As for getting rid of Windows, delete the Windows folder.
