Since Windows 10 Pro is already there, as is Microsoft Office
Professional 2007, they are really the only programs that I wish to
keep that are on the Windows 10 Pro desktop.

It has been stated pretty clearly that I can keep the Windows 10 Pro
because it has been "activated" by someone else (even though I don't
know the login of that person on the Microsoft web site).

But what about the Office 2007 Professional?

Now that I used the Magical Jelly Bean Keyfinder, can I also download
the MS Office 2007 Professional software?


I'm a little bit dubious about why this machine of unknown history has
W7 Home labels, but a W10 pro version running. Doesn't the free upgrade
of W7 Home usually result in W10 Home?

Rather than Magical Jelly Bean, I normally use Belarc Advisor, which
gives a lot of extra info about the hardware and software as well as
doing some security checks. One example is the detected Internet
Explorer key which will match the key that Windows 7 Home was running
under when it was updated.

In the last couple of days I have rebuilt a Windows XP machine and been
using it. I have to say that it's like a breath of fresh air after W10.
It feels like a proper stable OS rather than a bloated, regularly
changing advertising channel and data gathering set up. I do hope the OP
isn't too disappointed with his "new" machine.


Interesting. I put Windows 10 Pro on a desktop which has a 1.6 Ghz
duel core Pentium and 1 GB RAM and I thought it gave new life to
a machine with modest specs.
