    Hello people

    I know I will get laughed at but does anyone know where I can get a Windows 7 product key, I ask because I have just done a fresh install of 10 and have no product key and I am using the PC but it is limited and a new key is quite pricey £119.99 for Windows 10

    And I think I am correct in saying that you can use a Windows 7 product key, but eBay has a very limited supply of keys and the price has rocketed, does anyone have the knowledge to help me out or a better place to get a key.

    Thanks people.

    Although this is a self built PC so no HWID (I think)

    When you are looking for a win 7 key to activate 10 either by upgrading from 7 > 10 or using the key directly to activate 10, you can easily just install 10 and use MAS (google for massgravel on github) and instantly get yourself a hwid.

    Hi chaps, and thank you for the info, the only thing is that I am not getting is that these type of files have to be inserted into the install files, but what about if the OS is already installed, do I have to reinstall all over again, thanks peeps.

    The MAS script described in post #5 can be executed on a running Windows 10.
