Hello,
I have a win7 pro licence that was upgraded to win10 back when it was offered. I'm planing on buying new PC and I dont know if I will be able to still use my old win7 key?
My win7 pro is from now defunct MSDNAA service. Its not an OEM version.

Based on this link, it would appear so. But I wouldn't be surprised if it doesn't work, also good thing it's not a OEM license else it would be a definite no.
Thanks. From the link it indeed looks that way.

You can use a windows 7 license key (provided it is still valid) to install windows 10 if it is a clean install and not an upgrade.
Thanks

Yes, just type your 7 key in during the Win10 setup, it will use that to activate and transfer your license.
MSDNAA still exists, it is called Azure Education today.
