My community center was recently donated 10 computer from a school and I have reason to believe that all of the computers are running an illegitimate copy of Windows 7 Professional

Is there a way to determine this for sure?

I am suspicious because they only have and XP Professional Key code (Older Computers) and in the DVD drive of one of the computers was a DVD-R copy

but my main reason for being suspicious is what I posted in the code box below

Here is the output file from SterJo Keyfinder

Code: 
Windows 7 Professional ->Product ID:
55041-008-1615465-86988

Windows 7 Professional ->Key:
BBBBB-BBBBB-BBBBB-BBBBB-BBBBB

Microsoft Office 2010 ->Product ID:
82503-018-0000106-48773

Microsoft Office 2010 ->Key:
VYBBJ-TRJPB-QFQRF-QFT4D-H3GVB

Yes this is real any key finder does the same thing with a capital B for all 25 characters
and I get the same output from all 10 Computers
 
If the DigitalProductID data is decoded as all Bs then the license used was a MAK (multiple activation key) license.
 
Is that the actual Office 2010 key? i don't think you should openly post that :)

At least switch a few letters or numbers.
 
Anything wrong with just reinstalling their OEM or would you prefer to keep them on 7?

I would actually prefer to go back to XP or some form of Linux as I have 10 identical computers which are quite old they are all HP
Series:DC500MT
Part #: PJ357UA#ABA
I was just wondering if I could use the W7 licenses (If they are infact valid) on another computer

How do I go about checking the ID to make sure it is valid?
Is there a way to get the actual Key that was used to activate Windows instead of all B's?
