    Old laptop with win 7, have product key, what else do I need?


    Hi all.I'm after replacing the hdd with an ssd in my main laptop and installing win 10 home using media creation tool, it was activated through my Hotmail account, it was all very straight forward.One of my old laptops running windows 7, hasn't been turned on in years. I'm thinking about doing the same job upgrading ssd and ram. The win7 product key is underneath laptop.Is installation the same? Can I just use the product key on laptop. Where is the best place to download win 7 from?Thanks in advance.

    :)
