Windows 10 and 7 Pro OEM activation

Hi,

From what I understand the Win 10 Pro OEM key can be used to activate Win 7 Pro OEM. Bascially I have a request to build a PC with Win 7 Pro, as this is need for the software used by the business. I have run out of copies
of Win 7 Pro OEM.

I've tried using a Win 10 Pro OEM key for a Win 7 Pro OEM activation, but it's not working, tells me the key is not valid. Am I suppose to install Win 10 pro OEM, activate it, and then install Win 7 pro OEM, and activate
with the same key. I'm still getting orders for PCs with Win 7 Pro, and finally run out of copies.

What is the correct procedure to activate an Win 7 Pro OEM install with a Win 10 Pro OEM key?

Thanks

 

How to downgrade the Windows 10 Pro to Windows 10 Home (upgraded from Windows 7 Home)

It means there is no way for Win 10 Pro downgrade to Win 10 home (upgrade from Win 7 Home) unless I reinstall the win 7 home then upgrade to win 10 home?

If I do the clean install of that PC installed Win 10 Pro upgrade from Win 10 Home (upgraded from Win 7 Home) and skipped the inserting key steps then connect internet, will my PC activate automatically for Win 10 Home or Win 10 Pro?

 

download and create windows 10 setup media > http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/softw...load/windows10
download windows 10 ISO (without media tool) > http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/softw...load/techbench

better off upgrading via ISO anyway - the downloaded upgrades have failed a lot.. you can check your windows update history, to verify the failure

 

More people have had better success with activation when the use the "Upgrade this PC now" option in the Windows Media Creation Tool rather than doing it from USB or DVD or mounting the ISO. Not sure why, but that seems to be the historical track record. You can always create the USB or DVD after upgrading.

 

thank you, that worked and it is now activated it

 

Achieving activation is like achieving Nirvana

 

Can you explain this historical track record and how the process is any different

 

Reading the posts from people who have upgraded on this forum. The most unreliable method that the most people have had problems with have been upgrading via Windows Update. The second method that have been problematic has been downloading an ISO and attempting to upgrade from that. Probably because they really don't understand what an ISO file is and that it has to be mounted or extracted to be used for an upgrade. There is a big difference between the Windows Update method of upgrading and the Media Creation Tool method of upgrading. One difference is that with the media creation tool it is not required to be on SP1 of WIndows 7 or Windows 8.1. The media creation tool will upgrade Windows 7 (non-SP1) and Windows 8.0.
