I've been a Mac user for the last 15 years and fell out of loop with the Windows world. I remember in the days of XP, VIsta, and 7, I could use the same product key to install on multiple machines. Has the Windows activation process changed in the last 15 years or so?
What I am trying to do is to bootcamp a 2011 Macbook Air (MacOS High Sierra, 10.13) with Windows 7. I long lost the CD and the product key but was able to extract the product key from an old laptop. I downloaded a Windows 7 iso from Massgrave and plan to use the product key extracted from the old laptop, Will this work? The 32 bit version was installed on the old laptop. However, I plan to install the 64 bits on the 2011 Macbook Air. Will this create a conflict?
Lastly, if the Bootcamp solution doesn't work out and I end up buying a new Windows laptop. How easy is it to clean install? Assuming it won't come with a Windows installation CD like in the old days.
