I'm trying to repurpose an old CPU/MB for my parents. It won't take any of my old 7 keys (guess I could try an 8 key).
They way I tried to do it was by doing a clean install.
I know that it was supposed to end last year, but for some reason thought there was still a workaround. Strangely, I installed 10 on this machine in the past, so I kinda expected it to work.
Before anyone says buy a new license, the reason I don't want to do that is because this CPU is an i7-860 and it doesn't look like Intel is going to fix the security issues for those CPUs. Therefore, I'd rather build a new machine for them once Canon Lake is out and probably give them my Skylake build. Just doesn't make sense to buy Win10 and then have to fight MS to move the OS to a new computer.
