Your Win 7 key is from your old laptop right, in this case not possible as that key is OEM and it belongs to that specific laptop motherboard.

Thanks for the bad news.

Any way to hack this ? Ha.

Bingo, got Win 7 product key sticker on my old laptop!

Hope this route is possible:

install win 11 on my new PC, later use the Win 7 key to register and activate.

Possible? I cannot do that on the laptop as it has been dead for some years now.

Yes, it's possible. You'll know when you try it. I used the Win 7 Pro OA (OEM) key from a Lenovo M73 and applied to a fresh Win 11 install on my recently upgraded PC.

Excellent news.

Just to be sure, you installed Win 11 on a new PC and later entered the Win 7 key, and activated the OS?

Mine is just Win 7 home. Hope it will work too.

Yes, I installed Win 11 on the new PC. Skipped entering a product key.
After installation, in Activation Settings, it would say Windows can't be activated because there'e no product key.
Then I entered the above mentioned Win 7 Pro OA key and activated successfully.

The COA on the Lenovo looks like this.

Thanks.

I was planning to enter the key during installation. I will try to do that via activation setting.

Confirm Win 11 can be installed with Win 7, 8 or 10 product key. Either OEM, retail or those shopee keys.... 😁

But after activation you will see the difference in the activation page.

The real problem with Windows 11 as i found out from its beginning till now, if you use old hardware is, you are required to update to the latest BIOS. Then find the very latest drivers for all your hardware. Else you will get wired problems like jittery screens even when browsing web.

Noted and thanks.

Heard there are some issues with Win 11 and the MB I will be using. So better for me to stick with Win 10 and upgrade later to Win 11 later.

First hurdle is getting win 11 installed on hardware that has no tpm.

Then working out how to turn off all those stupid data harvesting switches that are relocated or changed from win 10.

It should all be smooth sailing until you hit driver related problems like jittery video, unstable wifi or problems with sound. Probably unknown hardware in device manager which is not a serious problem.

After weeks of waiting for the parts t arrive and learning, managed to finally press the start button on my first build. The 1st image on the screen was not what I expected from videos I have seen. Luckily, bios stage went through OK and then Win 10 installation. Many thanks to MS for allowing me to use my old Win 7 key to get a new Win 10! Now lots of software things to sort out.

Many thanks to all for the idea to use old Win key. Save me a few hundred RM.

Building my home PC and need a Win 11 home OS. Where can I get a reasonably priced Win 11 home OS? Price?

What is Win 10 home price now? Maybe better to get Win 10 home and upgrade to Win 11 home 5 years later when MS stops supporting Win 10?

Thanks.

P/S Plan now is to use Win home and upgrade to Win Pro if and when the need arises. Will the upgrade cost be too much to make this a worthwhile option?

Microsoft no longer shipping out on Windows 10 license. You can purchase Windows 11 Home and downgrade to Windows 10. Windows OS license now can integrate with your Microsoft Account. After reformat your computer, login to your Microsoft Account and it will auto retrieve the license for you no matter you installing Windows 10 or Windows 11.

Yes, Microsoft allow license owner to upgrade their Windows 7 to Windows 10. When Windows 10 was announced, Microsoft already offering free upgrade to Windows 10 for existing purchase of Windows 7 (term and conditions applied). Same goes to Windows 11 and future Windows version.
