    Your XP key will NOT be valid for W10, time to buy a new key.

    Thanks for the reply. I'm giving the system away letting the new owner know the installed XP
    is a bogus install (not my doing). Before I mentioned anything, he said he was going to buy a 10 disk and install. I was trying to see if there was a possibility of a free upgrade.

    Do you think he'll have any problems with hardware, etc. with the 10 install ?

I'm about to buy a new laptop from Costco with Win 7 Home Premium. On my old (now smashed) laptop I have a Win 7 Ultimate install. Can I just use the Ultimate serial key to do the Anytime Upgrade on the new machine? I keep reading that I need to buy an "upgrade key." Thanks
