Win 7 key doesnt work on Win 8

[10lawsonl]

So I was using windows 10 previously and now i have changed my CPU and motherboard and reinstalled Win 10. I thought using my win 7 key would get it working again but i get the error code 0x004f050. I mean the only disadvantages are that i have an annoying watermark that says activate and I cant personalize my wallpaper and stuff but i want to know the problem.

 

-I reinstalled by doing a clean install through usb

-Will just waiting fix it, you know when you wait for Microsoft to authenticate it

-I'm not paying £189 for the win 10 pro full license

You cant use a Windows 7 key on Windows 10. 

 

First, you must install Windows 7 with that key, then download the Windows 10 ISO once on Windows7
