Windows 7 Professional Upgrade?

Was clearing out my old stuff and had forgotten about my Windows 7 Professional 64-bit Upgrade (Student) DVD, October 2009.
Rather than throwing it away, is it still useful at all for a student, charity, or an education faculty? I purchased this from Microsoft directly so it is a genuine copy.

I suppose someone could 'fresh' install it on a PC and then upgrade to W10pro

Good to know! Could I list it on ebay or should I instead look to donate somehow?J_B said:I suppose someone could 'fresh' install it on a PC and then upgrade to W10pro0 -

Seem to be on offer for about £15 on ebay - not sure if anyone's keen to actually purchase?moneysaver1978 said:

Murphy's law dictates that if you dispose of the software, you will shortly come across another computer that you can use and this would have been an ideal candidate for it. But if you hold onto it, the other computer will never appear.

@Neil_Jones Haha so true! But fortunately, the other computer will never appear because I am fully invested in Apple ecosystem with a Macbook.
@J_B Not looking to make money as long as it is still useful rather than going to landfill but looks like ebay is the way to go because I have been unable to find charity that would accept it.
Thank you for your help - that helps to form up a plan of action!

Is there an unused windows key on it?
If yes, it could be used to activate Win 100
