M$FT offers a 30 day “roll back” for Win 7 machines that get upgraded to Win 10. Most of time this is an alternative although I have heard of machines that failed the roll back.
If the machine was running Win 7 it still has a valid Win 7 license. If you do a clean install, that license can be used. Of course this erases the user’s data and applications. Hopefully you can backup the data. Applications will probably have to be reinstalled, another headache.
For 30 days.
If you have not contacted u-sofft by then to "verify" that it really, truly, and positively is a "valid" copy of the OS installed on that machine, it announces that it is invalid and refuses to operate.
So, you must contact u-sofft by phone and read off several numbers the machine will provide to them and they will read you back more numbers to input on the machine, or allow the machine to contact them directly instead to permit you to operate your own machine.
No thanks. No one needs to know what kind of machine I have and what programs I run on it.
