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!

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.

Or you can just pirate windows 7 then upgrade to 10 for a legit copy free.

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.

Will these OEM versions work with a Mac via Boot Camp does anyone know?

They should do, I bought from a similar site for my Mac and it worked fine with boot camp, no problems at all

If I buy a Windows 7 Pro OEM can I change my current product key (an Ultimate volume key) to the new one (effectively a downgrade) and then go through the Windows 10 Pro upgrade?
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

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

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.

Can anyone vouch for Opium Pulses? I've not heard of them.
