Windows 10: Windows 7 OEM Product key / windows 10 Insider {Dual boot}

Hi,

I am currently running Windows 10 on my personal computer.

I have a windows 7 Pro OEM software License from a computer I scrapped out a few years ago.

I wanted to setup a dual boot and would like to use the product key to install windows 10 Insider but when I typed in the Product key it told me to contact the computer OEM. I am not even sure who was the mfg of that computer.

Is there anything that can be done to do this or am I doing something incorrectly?


Thank you for your help!

:)

Hope this is not against the rules. If you do a clean install of Windows 10, it may, (has for me) accept a Win 7 OEM key and activate.

 

Windows 10 Activation (Insider)

I bought Windows 7 Pro OEM key from G2Play.net for 12€ to upgrade to Windows 10 Pro - worked like a charm but be advised if you buy a OEM key you can not download the Win 7 iso from microsoft and have to get it elsewhere.

Ive installed windows 7 using retail disk but with an oem key it worked fine you can always change the key from right clicking my computer-properties then selecting change product key
