Re: Heavy handed indeed
"windows Genuine reseller program" is what he needed to be on (witch is around $20 per PC)
the way it works what every key is on the system ,XP vista 7 8 or even windows 10 (but you just don't bother with windows 8 or 10 systems as the system is already activated for windows 10 if it has windows 8 UEFI key {assuming its a branded system} or windows 10 before installed just automatically activates)
they accept it and give you the currant version of windows (at this time windows 10 home or pro depending on the key you provide them)
