I have a legitimately pirated Windows 7 and I fear upgrading will kill this somehow and may upgrade but I wanna know will it give me a license number that I can then use to flatten and reinstall

should probably do a fresh reinstall

for some reason the window 8 upgrade key I got registered as a new install, so I ended up with two keys I can use which is nice.

windows 10 is a step forward in some areas and a step backwards in others

if everyone was on windows 10 i wouldn't mind so much but i'll have to deal with windows 7 on a daily basis until 2020

if u upgrade from 7 you don't get a key for 10, they register your hardware fingerprint on the michaelsoft servers & the install is bound to your machine

I had to reinstall earlier this year it just works no key required but when I buy a new motherboard and cpu I might need to buy a new copy of 10
