So I'm going to build my first gaming PC and I don't want to shell out $100 for windows 10. After doing a bit of research I found that you can upgrade for free from Windows 7/8 to Windows 10. https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/accessibility/windows10upgrade I have an old crappy laptop that can barely run with windows 7 on it. So I was wondering if there was any way I could transfer the OS onto my new PC once I have it.

P.S. I'm completely new to PC gaming so be patient please. But I do have a pretty basic understanding of how computers work.

No.

Solution?
Sell the laptop for $100. Buy a valid OS with the proceeds.
