I have just noticed this is back in stock for a slightly cheaper price on Windows 7 and 8 versions. Hope it helps someone out!

They should do, I bought from a similar site for my Mac and it worked fine with boot camp, no problems at all
If this works, is the upgraded Windows 10 Pro also OEM (i.e. having risk of failing if you change hardware, etc)?
Just get the Windows 10 Pro upgrade and save the hassle.
And yes, it will be OEM, but I called Microsoft when I changed Motherboard and they just gave me a new key
What didn't?
Brain cells.
Rather do this then waste £10 on either carded keys or MSDN or something else thats in violation of MS terms that gets the key blocked after a few months anyways. You can see the other deal from this company, only reason it's allowed is because HUKD are getting £££ from it.
The company hasn't even been trading for over a year and was dormant previously with £4 in it.
Yeah... No you can't. If the product key isn't legit in the first place, the free upgrade won't do anything but upgrade the OS itself. It's always worth reviewing licensing rights here as OEM software (and keys) lives and dies with the machine. You have no transfer rights
Everytime I switch it on!
If you are running Vista, you first have to find out if you're running the 32 bit or 64 bit version. The most solid version of Windows since V7 is 64 bit, so I wouldn't try to upgrade using 32 bit versions, and there's no way to cross upgrade from 32 to 64 bit.
Therefore if you are running 32 bit Vista, my advice would be to wipe and reinstall from scratch using 64 bit Windows 10.
If you are running 64 bit Vista and want to try and keep everything, the best thing to do would be to first upgrade from Vista to windows 7 64 bit. Fully update after your upgrade. Then upgrade from Windows 7 to Windows 10. It won't directly upgrade without going via Windows 7.
If you don't mind starting from scratch then you can start by backing up your data, then wipe your hard disk and install windows 10, but you may need to download some things in advance before you start such as Windows 10 driver files for your motherboard/PC.
Yes you can, using something like Daz loader you can upgrade and get a full digital entitlement activated license, exactly the same as if you upgrade with a legit license key.
Its tied to the mother board i think and it is a legit license , you can reinstall a fresh copy of 10 and it sees your machine has a legit license on the server or something, it does work unless they stopped it very recent as i did it a few months ago.
Yep, surely a bogus W7 key won't be magically made legit by upgrading to W10?
Pretty sure it still works, the upgrade offer ends in july.
Tempting...but a bit of a gamble? You decide.

why would you downgrade from ultimate to pro. Ask the question again
What you meant was......
Can I downgrade my pirated copy of Windows 7 ultimate to the pro version
Doesn't seem legit... uk.trustpilot.com/rev…9b9
one small issue there. His pc might not support 64 bit
Trust pilot vets every review so I am very surprised this got through there 'sorry this does not conform to our rules....' Email?
I would like to know as well.
"Bogus" no, but if W7 has been successfully activated by even questionable means, it will qualify for w10 upgrade and result in MS activating that W10 installation as legitimate. This dubious state of affairs should cease when MS stop the free W10 entitlement at end July 2016.
To be fair to the company in their response to this customer they seemed confident that this was just a one off issue (and the other reviews and their overall feedback would seem to support this)
Google?
Or you can find original non-modified/hacked ISOs on torrent sites quite easily. Torrents do have legitimate uses.
Works fine for me on all my machines, definitely slight improvement in performance too, though day to day, most people wouldn't notice it. If you want a terrible attempt at windows you need to go back to Windows ME.

What's the exact issue?
I did that and then, out of nowhere, my I got the, Windows is not genuine blah blah and before I could do anything it downgraded to the base edition and I was screwed. Thankfully I found a seller on eBay who sells the Win7 licence from scrapped pc's and actually sends you the holographic sticker. So far, so good (for a tenner)
This still does work ! MS don't really care, they want everyone on W10.
the key is bound to your motherboard so if you change your mobo your key becomes invalid
