Windows 10: W10 Pro generic license - trial period and legality

I have a client who is performing clean PC rebuilds from W7Pro to W10Pro and stated he used the following link to perform the task (view the link at the end) and was successful. I remoted in and saw that he has a generic code that generated VK7JG-NPHTM-C97JM-9MPGT-3V66T. This PC did NOT include a W10 Pro license nor was this done during the "free" upgrade period of July 2015-2016. My understanding is that a genuine W10 Pro license (or an upgrade license since the PC did come with W7Pro) still needs to be purchased in order to adhere to the EULA. Besides the legality issue are there any repercussions to this build i.e. is it a temporary license and for how long i.e. how long does he have with this generic code? Are there any lost functionality and if so what?

Please provide link or documentation as I feel this client thinks I am misinformed about the license rules. He is under the understanding that ANY pc build in 2012 or later is eligible for a free W10Pro license.

re-installation of windows 10 after the trial period using Windows 7 Pro key

Hi all,

I have a windows 7 Pro license key and i'm wanting to perform a clean install AFTER the trial period is over of upgrading to Windows 10, is it possible to activate windows 10 using the Win 7 Pro license key that comes with the DELL machine? Although I never
upgraded this particular machine during the free trial period?

Thanking you,

Brent

 

moving W10 Pro license to another computer running W10 Home

I am a long time W10 Insider.

I had a Gateway NV79 running W10 Pro and it bellied up with on board battery issues and is non functional.

I want to move that Pro License to another W10 machine running home.

What are the steps/

Thanks,
