Win 7 pro vs win 10 pro install#
I'm confused why you would want to ditch the current install to go back to activating with the OEM key - considering you have a VL agreement and reimaging rights.

Due to this, Windows 10 is optimized for touchscreen, while Windows 7 is not. Whereas, Windows 7 is only supported on PCs and laptops. This includes PCs, laptops, tablets, phones, as well as its Xboxs.

How did the devices obtain the rights to Windows 10? Are the devices licensed for Windows 10 in your current Microsoft VL agreement or were they part of the free upgrade period? The most significant difference between Windows 7 and Windows 10 is that Windows 10 is an attempt to synchronize the OS on all its products. I suspect the answer is no it's not legal, although it could be argued they have already been upgraded to Win 10 within the 1 year window, so yes it's OK to re-install the same OS. Q: Can we legally install and activate the OEM version of Win10 on this hardware to dispose of it with a recent version of Windows on it? Like many others on this forum I am of the view that it's important to know what is legal not what is possible. We have been running Win 10 on that hardware for somewhere near 2 years now, legally using campus agreements but we have not used the key which came with the devices to upgrade. Many of our in house hardware came with a Windows 7,8 or 8.1 licenceĢ. Would you like Chris (Microsoft) to tell you this, so you have something from an actual MS rep?ġ. What, specifically, are you looking for here? The free upgrade ended over a year ago. How would you suggest I get an official answer on this? I can't find any mention of this specifically in the documentation and our rep doesn't seem to get it. Remember, activation and licensing are completely different things. There just isn't anyone in licensing trying to actively stop you (no cop trying to pull you over).
Nobody in MS licensing is saying it's okay. Well technically, it's like I know the law says I'm not to speed but there is a law enforcement officer saying it's ok. I know the speed limit, it's my decision to pay attention to it or to ignore it. And I certainly won't blame the police for not creating streets and cars that don't let me speed. And I know if I get caught at it it's my own fault. *Note this is a subscription license, so if you choose not to renew you'd have to go back to Windows 10 Pro.I can get away with speeding, too, but I know it's not right. Each Windows 10 Enterprise E3 via CSP license permits the user to use 5 devices with the license. This would permit each user the rights to upgrade their device(s) from Windows 7 Pro to Windows 10 Enterprise. You have the option of using the Microsoft Cloud Agreement (CSP) to license your users for Windows 10 Enterprise. The discounts on Windows are mainly for those who purchase under EA type agreements with 500+ users or devices.

Volume Licensing (VL) offers upgrade licensing only for Windows desktop OS, so you're required to have a full underlying Pro version of Windows to license Windows 10 Pro Upgrade via VL. Windows Update for Business will make sure that Windows 10 Pro and Enterprise users are always up to date when it comes to security features. The Windows 10 Upgrade path info can be found here: Windows 10 upgrade paths.Ģ. Yes you can perform an in-pace upgrade from Windows 7 Pro to Windows 10 Pro.
1) is it possible to perform an in-place upgrade from Windows 7 Pro to Windows 10 Pro so that I don't have to reinstall all of the applications? (I understand that some incompatible apps will have to be removed and reinstalled)Ģ) If 1 is true, can I get an upgrade license at a reduced price, considering we already own the 20+ copies of Windows 7?ġ.
