windows 10 activation

Hi,

I've installed Windows 10 Pro guest (OSX MacBook Pro host) and it's working very well. I'm actually very surprised that it runs decently on only 1.5G of RAM.

Anyway, I had a couple of questions:

1. I have a Windows 7 Pro DELL laptop. Is it possible for me to use that license key for the Windows 10 Pro install?
2. If that license key is usable, does that mean I no longer can use the Windows 7 laptop?
3. What other options do I have for a license key, I would need to purchase somewhere? The Windows 10 Pro ISO I downloaded from MS

thanks for your help
Ricardo

All of these questions would be better asked at Microsoft. We do not control how they license their product.

Windows 7 keys will not work for Windows 10, as when you upgrade to Windows 10 you are given a whole new key

Google up some local retailers to you or a trusted online shop that will sell you a Windows 10 key
