SHOULD WINDOWS 7 PRO USERS CONVERT TO WINDOWS 10 UPGRADE

We're not talking about reselling keys here, and AFAIK there are no laws that say "You can take advantage of a free license upgrade even though the upgrade period has expired." The terms say the free upgrade had to be completed by a certain day. Hell I am even allowed to sell my O365 License if I want to. T&C and Eula and everything STILL state it is forbidden to do so. Even if i have bought 1000 Serverlicenses, used 900 and sell the other 100.

Yes and I buy a License, I am allowed to sell it to you. I just refer to M$ Terms and conditions, that reselling Keys is not legal.Īs for Europe there exist several Laws that tell otherwise. This is encouraging people to break the free upgrade terms and will result in improperly licensed software. But remember, as Win 10 comes for free, you will need to decrapify it. I have done this now with 12 PCs Win 7 to Win10 18.09.

Then run a Clean Install on every PC you got. Get the Media Creation Tool, Upgrade every PC. legally, own Desktop License, Microsoft offers the Upgrade for free. I don't think you're doing enough that MDT would be worth the time investment. Having at least 1 VL gives you reimaging rights for all computers running Pro, and each VL will give you upgrade rights per license.Īs far as actually doing the imaging, I would set up a golden image on one machine (VM is preferred because you can do snapshots), sysprep, capture, and then deploy with WDS, FOG, or Clonezilla. Then buy a VL for each machine that needs a Win10 license (assuming these are all currently licensed for Windows Pro). I would still look to see what licenses your current PCs have, as per Robby. Otherwise, you have to install an unmodified Windows image and then customize afterward. If that isn't an option, set up a bench, download the installer to a network drive or a handful of flash drives, and bang out as many at a time as you can. Use MDT, Acronis, Ghost, whatever imaging tool you are comfortable with. As for the actual upgrade itself, what do you have for infrastructure or tools available to you? I would recommend using a master image to push out to the computers. If that is the case, you don't need to worry about licensing. A lot of computers that have been purchased it he past few years have upgrade rights to Windows 10. I would first check how you purchased the computers.
