Solved Question on Windows 7 disc

[Binkie]

I am running a dell desk top, which was originally windows 7, I ended up doing the upgrade to windows 10.

My question would be this..

I have all the installation disc for my Dell windows 7. Is it possible to use the installation disc on a Dell Laptop running Vista that I have..

Or am I asking for problems.. I have been wondering about this for awhile, rather than get another laptop..

Thanks

Ron.. :huh:

Will it work? Maybe, or maybe not. See here for more info.

Is it legal? No. It is a violation of the EULA to use an OEM version of Windows unless the machine has a COA sticker for that version and edition.

That does not make sense. What about the free upgrades from Win7 to Win10 ?

That's not an OEM version. I'm only talking about the versions installed by the major OEM computer manufacturers.

Without a key it`s a waste of time, and if you had a key then why use a Dell oem disc when you could download the iso and do a clean install.

The Dell oem disc would work fine, but what`s the point, without a W7 key you can`t activate it.
