In the arcane world of Windows licensing, the Windows7 on your laptop was almost certainly not licensed, and therefore your Windows10 isnt either. Even if it had been licensed properly, it now wouldnt be. This doesnt mean that you might not be able to install 7 and pass online licensing. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
