Quick question, I'm dealing with a client of mines(okay this one person whose PC i work on occasionally) and she has a bootleg Windows 7 on her PC. her upgrade for W10 is out of the question as the expiry date elapsed and she wasn't running a genuine copy.

She's looking on Amazon and there's OEM keys being sold but it looks like a gamble. Some are going for $60-$90 but the reviews seem mixed what with some saying it works and some saying it's fake/used keys.

W10 costs like $100 but she's talking about she's heard people having problems using it. :snoop: I feel like it'd be a waste for her to buy a key just for Win 7 and then buy W10 again down the road when she could just very well get W10 now and call it a day.

What do you think she should do?


Windows 7 is already EOL as far as support goes...so I would say move her to 8.1 or 10...mostly 10...

If money has to be spent...it makes no sense to spend it on an OS as old as windows 7...their are plenty of ways to get the windows 7 with windows 10 as well...

Backing up my entire steam library right now in preparation for my move to the DC area. 24 hours over USB 3 :beli:

Maybe I have too many games :jbhmm:

forget about buying keys. you can use one of those activators. if you need a legit source of a windows 7 with the latest updates integrated, pre-activated edition, come hollar at me.
