I am trying to install Windows 7 SP1 64 bit OEM System builder onto a hardrive partition via the program Bootcamp on my Macbook Pro, however as soon the computer restarts and the initial setup for Windows starts my license of Windows 7 for whatever reason becomes a license of Windows 10. I am kind of at a loss for how this is possible so any incite would be greatly appreciated.

Microsoft made the Windows 7 keys work for Windows 10 activation.

Hi Justin,

Hey, if you get the W10 working on your MacBook Pro w/ Bootcamp, could you let us know? I've gotten some other inquiries from folks in other forums who have tried this and couldn't get it to go.

Thanks!
