If these are donated computers I doubt that the MS product keys will still be active. That would be a security issue for the company who donates them. They could attach an MS refurbisher key but I doubt they would do that at their own expense. Expect them to be completely wiped, and/or to have an OS stub that asks for keys to update and/or install which will require a purchase. Windows 7 is not really worth any maintanance efforts anyway. Windows 8 or 10 would be, if you want the headache, but would be foolish to opreate on a network without KIS or Norton (which also have a $ per system). If you want to keep one of the better ones for yourself and dual boot with LL expect to spend around $250 (MS keys & KIS) to make Windows 8 or 10 reasonably safe and usable.
