windows 7 key for windows 10

[JHY]

I have installed windows 10 without key, and I'm going to buy one. But windows 7 key is cheaper than windows 10 key, and I heard that windows 7 key works for windows 10. Does windows 7 home premium OEM key works for windows 10 home?

Only if you upgraded using that key.

It used to work, but as of July 29th the free upgrade period ended. So it will not longer work.

If you get the Home edition of Windows 10, you're going to have to deal with more inconveniences, like not being able to turn off automatic updates, and not being able to disable windows defender and all its invasive messages. Better to get Windows 10 Pro, or just get Windows 7, which is very easily arguably a better OS, overall.

check out http://mskeystore.tictail.com/ ive bought a few keys from there and so far theyve worked out well. A cheaper alternative I guess. 

 

There were threads though about people still able to get the upgrade for free? not sure what happened with that though
