 ===== Base license required for MS Windows =====
-The MSCA terms provide upgrade licenses for MS Windows; any PC where you will install Windows under the MSCA license must already have a "base" license for MS Windows. Major brand names like Dell and HP include the base license with each PC purchase. You can see that a PC has a base license assigned by the Microsoft product sticker on the case. The sticker can be either a long rectangular "Certificate of Authenticity" ("COA") with hologram and install key, up to Windows 7, typically on the back, top or side of the case; or for Windows 8 simply a smaller, square Microsoft "badge", typically on the front of the case.

As of Windows 10 some licensed PCs may have no sticker at all; you must rely on other documentation such as sales receipt or product specs to verify if the vendor supplied a Windows license with the purchase. Typically, major brands do include Windows licenses with most complete PCs sold.
-PCs ordered from smaller retailers such as College St. stores may be 'bare' boxes with no included base license for Windows. Such PCs are not eligible to use Windows under the MSCA unless you first purchase a base license and assign it to that PC. Some local retailers sell Windows separately. When ordering new PCs from such retailers, to qualify for MSCA, consider ordering the Windows license in the initial purchase rather than buying the PC 'bare' without the license.

-Note that Microsoft will cease issuing security patches to Windows XP in Spring of 2014. It is important to migrate off of XP before then. Our staff will be contacting owners of Tier 1 PCs still running XP to discuss upgrade or replacement options.
+Note that Microsoft ceased issuing security patches to Windows 7 in January 2020. Any PC still running Windows 7 should be upgraded to Windows 10 (or replaced).
