Windows 10: W7 Pro VLC License Upgrade to W10

I support a private school that has 50 desktops that all use a Microsoft W7 Pro VLC license purchased for 50 units. I can individually upgrade a machine to W10, but I want to duplicate what I did with W7 by creating an image and then restoring the image followed by entering the the license key. Each machine I manually upgraded took 1 to 1-1/2 hours each. To restore an image takes 12-15 minutes. Is there a way to accomplish this? I work alone and this will save me 60 plus hours of work.

How do I get the Productkey of my new W10Pro 1511?

Hello,

thanks for the input ...

I have a full license W7 Ultimate ... changed into a W10 Pro!

But I cannot use nor the W7 U nor the W10 Pro code??? Not accepted!

So, I suppose there has to be a productcode for this latest W10 digital version somewhere!

regards, marc

 

Duplicate Windows 10 license keys after free upgrade

We took advantage of the Free upgrade from W7 Pro to W10 Pro in July last year.

As per the process we were not required to input any product keys to enable this.

We now find that many of the PC's we upgraded are now running with all the same W10 license keys - why would this be?

Thanks,

JT

 

Hi gmklabisch and welcome to Tenforums.

I think you can SysPrep on one machine, capture the image, and deploy that to multiple systems.
Windows 10 Image - Customize in Audit Mode with Sysprep - Windows 10 Forums
The keycode can be used to activate W10 now (you don't have to upgrade each one, as a valid key will now activate a W10 install).

 

Thanks Simrick, I'll give that a try! I've not used SYSPREP before but I will research. Any gotchas I should be concerned about?

 

After reading the tutorial, watch the videos - they are VERY good. They walk you through the entire process, step-by-step. If you have any questions or problems at all, post in that thread and the tutorial author, Kari, will answer you.

Good luck! *Smile
