New License Key Requirement for Windows 10 and 11: Upgrading from Windows 7/8/8.1 no longer allowed

From now on, a new license key must be purchased for new computers if we want to install the Windows 10 or 11 operating systems on them. The old Windows 7/8/8.1 keys are no longer officially accepted by the still supported operating systems – written by and the HVG.

Those who have already switched are not affected by the change and can still upgrade from Windows 10 to 11 for free.

Although it is very unlikely that someone would directly update their legitimate Windows 7 computer to Windows 11 (since the latter has quite strict hardware restrictions), with some skill it was possible to solve it so that even a Windows 7 activation key could be used for a free for Windows 11. So far.
