Paul Thurrott is one of the top Windows folks on the web. If he says it works, I believe that it works. Now where's that old MSDN Win7 key I left laying around...?

FWIW, I'm only running Win10 in VMs (virtual machines); no "on the metal" installs. A bunch of my work buddies upgraded their Win7/Win8 workstations in-place and have had issues, mostly 3rd party compatibility and a few hangs. Even the clean installs have been occasionally troublesome. I prefer Win7, Linux, or macOS as the OS on the metal, and Win10 in a safe environment I can roll back simply by copying a file.
Then again, I'm not a gamer -- that pretty much requires a metal install on a screaming monster. Or so my daughter tells me. ;-)
If I get a Surface product the above won't apply, of course, but I'm not there yet. My trusty Fujitsu Lifebook continues to run Win7 flawlessly...

Interesting - I have an unused 64-bit Win7 DVD with the key on it and which was purchased so the “original owners” could choose between 32-bit and 64 bit versions on computers bought w/o and OS installed. Been holding it because I have been planning on building a LINUX machine and installing Win7 with Virtual Machine for when I absolutely needed a few Windows apps. This may give me other options.

I wonder if I can still do a clean Windows 7 install. Still works for me.
