Posted June 17, 2019 Hello, so I had Windows 7 at first and upgraded to Windows 10 using the same key. Now, I want to re-install the OS. Question is : will the Windows 7 key work to install Windows 10 again ? Thank you... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted June 17, 2019 34 minutes ago, starcoaster said: mine decided not to, so, going on personal experience I have used windows 7 keys to activate windows 10 installations twice, and so have many other people on this forum I know. The "one year free upgrade period" never ended, windows 7 keys still work to activate windows 10. Now it's just the eula that says you can't do it, but there's nothing that prevents it. If it didn't work for you then you probably put in a letter or number wrong, or weren't connected to the internet.
