  1. Updated valid windows 7 to windows 10 - key did not get updated


    Hi, I recently updated my mom's computer from Win7 to Win10 by downloading it and installing it. Where you pick if you want to keep the files and programs, I did keep both. Her windows installation got correctly converted to Windows 10, no problem.I then decided to do the same with my own 2nd computer that was still on Win7, but this time I did not need to keep the files and programs so I did not. But now Windows 10 is telling me it's not activated even though I had a valid Win7 key before doing the upgrade. I still have the CD with the key sticker, but windows refuse to use it. ''0x803FA067'

    :)

  2. Windows 7 vs 10

    Yup, confirmed. I wouldn't be surprised at all though if it still locks the hardware profile in during activation. If you're planning major hardware changes, you shouldn't use the Windows 7 key in Windows 10 setup until after the changes are made.


    Personally, I wouldn't bother with Windows 7 anymore. Case in point: Windows 7 SP1 has over 200 updates to download; Windows 10? Not even a dozen. Microsoft is constantly rolling updates into a cumulative update for Windows 10 so it doesn't get update hell like Windows 7 and older have.

    I really can't think of any reason to use Windows 7 anymore.

    No one can even be entirely sure they are being validated right now. But if he is doing windows updates im willing to bet its not illegal.
