I have an old low end PC with Windows 7 installed on it and I'm thinking of chucking all the old outdated hardware in the case and putting in new components to create a mid-range gaming system for my son. So far I have the build I'm looking for but I was wondering about using the Windows 7 key on the new system.
If I install Windows 10 using an Installer USB I have from another build will it work if I use the Windows 7 key from the old computer?
I don't really know how Windows Licensing works and I was hoping someone could let me know if this would work? Saving a round $50 - $100 on the OS would give me a little extra money to upgrade something else like the GPU or add an SSD to the build.
