That's a great idea CoolGTX, that's what I did as well a few days ago. Unfortunately it didn't help get any WU. But I'M READY!!!!!!

Out of curiosity, how often do you update your rigs? 1511 was a VERY long time ago!

Dedicated Folding Rig & the oldest Ver of Win 10 Pro that I was running .. wanted to measure any difference as the other Rigs ran different Versions of 10
 
 

When your Folding non-Stop  24/7  ... "If it works ... don't fix it"
 
My security software is third party ... it is updated several times a day ... did not need the newer "Win 10 version features"

In the middle of updating a second Rig ... was running Win 10 Pro 1607
 
 
Build log of my primary Folding@Home Rig - code name Nibbler   from back in March 2017
 
Undecided if I want to drain the loop & refill with the EK fluid I purchased ....
 
Last loop mix was Distilled & Primochill Liquid Utopia, a few months ago [October 2019] when 3rd Titan X Pascal was installed
 
edit ..... DONE
 
Windows 1909 & FaH 7.5.1 
 
Ill let the fluid change be for another day

Used the Microsoft Tool ... downloaded to a USB   MS Install Media
 
1) Did the In place update from Inside of Win 7 ...(cause I wanted to see if it would work) ... of course there were plenty of issues after OS update.. but the license transferred Yes, I had my "Key" handy, but it Never asked for it.  If your Sticker is on the Case - Just snap a Photo with your phone
 
2) After step 1, I did a In place Reload of Win 10 & Only kept my documents ... not the already loaded "apps"
 
3) After All updates were installed ... loaded CCleaner & ran the registry repair - because I was still seeing some issues - Crashes
 
4) Reloaded my Must have software & Newest X1 & Flow control ... security stuff
 
5) then loaded & setup FaH ...... running Now
 
 
  So, You can't find your Win 7 Key: Download & run this Free Utility:       BelarcAdvisor  
 
The Prep - Before updating:
 
     1) full security scans
 
     2) Clean my drives of any old files & duplicate files
 
     3) Backup All files, photos, downloads .... to removable drive
 
     4) Image the current OS drive --> to a different removable drive - just in case it all goes sideways
