orcadian Posted December 30, 2019 Author Posted December 30, 2019 (edited) Hi Tarun, Thanks for asking. Yes, on 24 Dec I managed to get Windows 10 on, 'over the top of' the second Windows 7 for which I had purchased a new key. It took a couple of all-nighters and some expert help. It turned out the problem with both drivers and installation was an incompatibility between the W10 installer and the RAID controller on my Dell Precision. I now have a Digital Licence for W10 - and so far, my main W7 is still showing 'activated'. I won't feel completely confident until W7 passes its deadline on 14 Jan but - so far so good. There is an absolute torrent of updates arriving for W7 at the moment and I hear reports of things breaking. Edited December 30, 2019 by orcadian Quote
David alex Posted March 1, 2023 Posted March 1, 2023 You can use the Windows 7 licence key on either one or the other without breaking the law. You can reinstall Windows 7 using the licence key if you remove Windows 10. With a single licence key, you can only run one or the other. Although I don't believe there is a strict enforcement mechanism to prevent you from operating both, it would be a licence infringement. Quote
