Question for anyone out there - I am going to go the route of installing Windows 10 Pro by giving my Windows 7 key. Will my copy of Windows 7 still work? Or do these fucks send a kill signal to Windows 7 afterwards?

I am 95% sure your Win7 key will not activate Win10 and you are going to have to give Microsoft some amount of money as a penalty for not upgrading when they asked you to.


It seems like they took my Windows 7 and allowed me to put Windows 10 up and we're all good now. In my mind we are even because I paid them for a thing they took away. We'll see. it would not surprise me at all if they engage in greasy nattering and want more money for Windows 10.

For what it's worth, as a person that works on both macOS and Windows software...Microsoft is extremely, extremely good at keeping old shit working on their current platform. The user experience might be degraded but generally things that worked in WinXP still just work, whereas software that ran on OS X 10.1 (which came out the same year) will almost definitely not on run on 10.14.


You're not kidding - everything actually works great. Flack, a guy who used to post here, got me connected to some programs that deal with making Windows 10 less of a PITA when it comes to notifications and privacy. This works just fine at the moment!
