asked on Windows 7 Pro migration to Windows 10 Pro
Hello
One would seem to think that Microsoft would have made life a little easier for their licencing of windows. Clearly not.
I have been in contact with a number of suppliers regarding upgrading our Windows 7 Pro licences to Windows 10.
Our preference is OLP.
So, I have had pricing for Windows 10 Pro licences via OLP (full product) and (upgrades). I have also now just been told we can upgrade windows 7 to 10 for free as we have windows 7 pro olp licences.
Is this really true and if so how does one go about licencing it (KMS/MAK), sourcing the media, using correct image/cd correctly etc etc/..
Thanks

Hmm, well were using MAK and OEM keys on VAMT.
We plan to deploy the new windows 10 image with our internal applications etc, so can we still do this wil the free upgrade (as were not actually upgrading in place)?

We use WDS so it will wipe the current OS on the HDD.

thanks
29th of july for non-volume licenses. Volume licenses however can be upgraded for free as long as your contracts are not expired.

Is it any OL agreement or the Windows 7 specific?
Software assurance let's you use the newest version, no matter what you bought it for - as long as it's still an active contract.
ASKER
we dont have that. so we have till july... grr.
Ok, so do you have remaining questions?
