No, I actually haven't bought a single laptop in my entire life. All my laptops are give/throw aways. The newest I have is a 3rd gen i7.

Did someone actually pay for a Windows license when he/she bought the laptop? Can't say for sure, but yes, most probably. For a Win7 license most likely since that was what was sood back then. Now I have LTSC and Linux on all of my PCs.

But me personally? No, I have never paid for a Windows license. All of the installs I have ever done for myself were pirated. From Win98 and XP onward.

Cool then you have licenses. Whether you utilized them or not is up to you. But you have licenses.

Utilize what. They're most probably Win7 Home licenses that could be exchanged for a Win10 Home license at a certain point in time, but not any more... and I wouldn't use a Home license anyway, it's crippled AF.
