Re: I wonder

I am not sure what you mean by dodgy version.

I made the move a few weeks ago for a new pc and an old latop.

I simply downloaded win10 iso from MS website and created a bootable usb and in both cases, wiped clean.

On the old laptop, I used an windows 7 home OEM key (not even from this laptop!): it worked like a charm (all drivers ok). Booting speed is faster.

On the new pc (nuc6i7kyk), I used the licence key from my windows 7 ultimate box: it worked (there was no "standard" driver for the network card, I had to install them from a usb after downloading on a different pc!).
