Certain OEM licences, but who bought a retail Win7? I suspect ones where the maker got Windows free or was even paid to preinstall (XP on some Netbooks years ago).

Sorry man. Unless you can show a first hand example of a PC running Windows 7 or 8 that meets hardware requirements (you keep bringing that up even though the very first post acknowledged hardware requirements) I am just going to assume you are ill informed.
I upgraded several old PCs from Windows 7 to 10 and have not yet had a single instance where I was unable to do so.
This conversation is tiresome and derailing the thread. You are wrong and I'll leave it at that.
