Windows 10: Win7 Pro Old PC --> Win10 Pro clean install new PC?

Hey,

as the title says, I have a valid Win 7 pro license running on my old PC. Can I in any way transfer this to install Win 10 Pro on my new device?

Thanks!

Win7 Pro Upgrade 32 to Win10 Pro 64

Hello,

I have a PC which originally had Win Vista Business 32-bit, upgraded to Win7 Professional 32-bit, then did a clean install to Win10 Pro 64-bit using the installation media provided on Microsoft's website. I was unable to use my 32-bit keys to activate Win10
Pro 64-bit. After some research, it seems I needed to upgrade from Win7 Professional 32-bit to Win10 Pro 32-bit using Windows Update or installation media, then take that key and write it down and use it later when I do a clean install of Win10 Pro 64-bit.

Before the clean install I used a program to find my product key for Win7 Pro 32-bit and wrote it down. If I wanted Win10 Pro 64-bit it seems I'd have to do another clean install of Win7 Pro 32, upgrade to Win10 Pro 32, then clean install Win10 Pro 64. Instead
of doing this time consuming task, is there some way I can get a key from Microsoft for Win10 Pro 64 bit, provided I have proof of my keys? The PC is currently running Win10 Pro 64-bit and is not activated.

Thanks

 

Previous win7 Pro install was eligible, new PC (+new install) is not? Is a transfer of license possible?

My "old" PC had a genuine win7 pro license that was upgraded from a win vista license.

This "old" PC was eligible for the win10 upgrade and I postponing to download it, since I was going to buy a complete new PC anyway.

With my new PC also came a new win7 pro install (Dell based), mainly because the whole win vista>7 install was bugging me since the win vista DVD was not recognized by the new system.

But this new win 7 pro install (all genuine, activated, updated and everything) still hasn't recieved the win10 upgrade deal.

Is it possible to use the previous license (still owned by me) to get the win10 upgrade transferred to my new system?

Kind regards,

Henk

 

Win7 Pro (OEM) to Win10

Just tried to use the MS 'Media Creation Tool' to download an .iso of Win10 Pro 64-bit - the only OS offered in the dropdown box is Win10 Home!

Currently running Win7 Pro (OEM) on my last machine to be upgraded. I haven't yet done the automatic 'upgrade' to Win10. Of course, I know I need to do this before doing a clean install with a downloaded .iso. Is this the reason for no choice of the Pro
version?

If first I do the free upgrade from Win7 Pro (OEM) to Win10...

a) Will the upgraded OS show as Win10 Pro (OEM)?
and;

b) If I then run the 'Media Creation Tool', will I then be offered a choice of Win10 Home or Win10 Pro in the drop-down?

It was always my understanding that Win7 Pro (OEM) was entitled to a free upgrade to Win10 Pro (OEM)...

Am I missing something?

Thanks,

Henry
