Is the product key valid, or activated? I forgot the term they use. Thanks.
The product key( in how to link )is a generic one that works with the 10130 version of Windows10. The 10130 is like a beta version and it takes the place of a previous version of Windows 7 or 8/8.1 when using the Microsoft Media Creation Tool to upgrade to the newest version of Windows10. It is the loop hole so to speak that let's you do the free upgrade to Windows10 that is offered for Windows 7 and 8/8.1 on XP and Vista.
I will shoot you a PM with all the links to do it. Just make sure your system meets the minimum requirements for Windows10 before trying it...
Minimum System Requirements: ( from Microsoft Windows10 FAQ )
Processor - 1 gigahertz (GHz) or faster processor
RAM - 1 gigabyte (GB) for 32-bit or 2 GB for 64-bit
Hard disk space - 16 GB for 32-bit OS 20 GB for 64-bit OS
Graphics card - DirectX 9 or later with WDDM 1.0 driver
Display - 800x600
