    License Windows 7 to Windows 10 (confused)


    Hi, I installed window10 over windows 7 few years ago.


    Now I have a big issue with windows 10.. to much to fix.


    My problem is that I want to reinstall windows 10 but at the origin it was windows 7 preinstalled ( I still have the partition but can't activate it kind of bugged (HP Laptop) and the other thing is the License sticker of windows 7 OA is erased.


    But I could retreive this but I won't tell my License on the forum xD


    The sticker don't match those licenses.


    ShowKeyPlus - Windows Product Key Information


    Product Name: Windows 10 Home

    Version: 17134.556 (64-bit OS)

    Product ID: XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX

    Installed Key: XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX (the one that is installed on windows 10) I didn't put that one it was generated after installing windows 10 over 7

    Original Key: XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX = Key don't match the sticker and I never put that license, maybe from preinstalled partition.

    Original Edition: Windows 7 HomePremium OEM:SLP


    OEM Key: Windows 7 OEM marker present in firmware


    So should I use the windows 10 License that ShowKeyPlus gaved me to windows a fresh windows 10 or.. ?


    Sorry I my english is bad, My first language is french Thank You

    :)

    License Agreement Confusion Causes Misinformation over Windows 10 Overreach

    Over the last weekend there's been quite some misinformation doing the rounds, stating that a license agreement you agreed to before upgrading to Windows 10, allows Microsoft to remotely disable pirated software (eg: games, apps). This may have caused fence-sitters on the Windows 10 upgrade to decide to stay on older platforms, and for some to even revert to their older Windows 7 installations. It turns out, that the situation has been grossly misread.

    Microsoft Services EULA is the one which states that Microsoft may "prevent you from accessing the Services, playing counterfeit games, or using unauthorized hardware peripheral devices," however, this is not the license that governs your Windows installation. It only pertains to "Microsoft Services" (Windows Store content, Xbox Live, live tiles, etc.) The license governing Windows is the MSLT (Microsoft Software License Terms), and so there won't be a case of Microsoft reaching out to disable pirated software from running on Windows.
