| 1 | I have been given a core2duo pc but the hdd has been wiped. The case has activation key for windows7 pro. Can I still get W7, install it and then perhaps upgrade to W10. I just want a machine to 'play with :) trad - 2021-05-09 20:33:00 |

| 3 | Thank you. Does the activation still work after W7 is no longer supported? trad - 2021-05-09 20:45:00 |
| 4 | Just install Windows 10 and activate it with the Windows 7 key. This has worked twice for me so far. rpvr - 2021-05-09 20:57:00 |
| 5 | Ok, thanks rpvr. However I do not know whether to get 32 or 64bit version ?? trad - 2021-05-09 21:03:00 |

| 8 | loads of RAM and/or an SSD if you want Win 10 to run well on that... king1 - 2021-05-09 21:08:00 |
| 9 | I have W 10 on a core2duo with 3gb of ram as my main pc, so am used to slowness. After all I am a pensioner :). Thanks for the advice though k1 trad - 2021-05-09 21:13:00 |
| 10 | Windows 10 can be activated via the windows 7 code. When you install windows 10, say you dont have the code. Just incase windows 10 has already been installed, and will activate if has been. swivel - 2021-05-09 23:04:00 |
| 11 | if it sucks too much, you can always try another OS. /compulsory pro linux comment bitsnpieces2020 - 2021-05-10 08:16:00 |
| 12 | Well, Lubuntu is real easy to use and works with no config issues and looks much the same as Windows 10, but the OP might prefer Windows. tygertung - 2021-05-10 10:59:00 |

When finished installing it will be automatically activated with a digital license. muppet_slayer - 2021-05-12 12:29:00 |
