Hello ecevit,
As long as you are not mass distributing the files, then you are legally fine to use them on your own personal computer so long as they do not affect activation.

That would have been my guesstimate, as I have such files imported from W7 on Windows 8. And I gave a senior techo from MS online control of my PC with that in it, after explaining to him exactly what I had done, before he would trouble shoot my problem with Excel. He asked for and checked out the validity of my product keys before proceeding ... both W7 and W8. If there had been any problem I'm sure he would have said something as he took a long time away checking them out.
