    Microsoft just manages to get more unhelpful and inaccessible as time goes by.I have recently purchased Windows 10 online for a second hand computer I just acquired. I received an invoice from Microsoft and was charged by for the purchase which appears in my order history. However, neither the order details or invoice contain any product key details or activation details.Following installation I'm now receiving the following error: "We can't activate Windows on this device because you don't have a valid digital license or product key.

    product key on second-hand laptop - can i use it?

    I have purchased second-hand Lenovo laptop from ebay. There was no OS installed, but there is Windows 7 Pro COA sticker with product key. Can I legally use this product key? Can I install Windows 10 and activate it with this product key?

    Thanks.

    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.
