    Does Microsoft Windows 10 Pro OS have tracking of HDD Make or Serial Numbers


    Hi Team,


    I have Windows 10 Pro genuine OS and its running with Hitachi HTS545032B9SA00 SATA HDD drive with 5400 RPM due to it machine performance is very slow, I am willing to upgrade it to SATA SSD drive MZ-76E500BW Samsung 500GB which will boost the performance. we would use the Samsung data migration s/w and clone the existing HDD windows drive. Would Microsoft OS cause any issues as there would be change in hard disk Make, Medel, Serial number and Capacity? Please suggest if I need to consider anything.


    Regards,

    :)

  2. Windows 10 serial on OEM


    So I'll summarize steps made...

    1. Saved serial number (taken with Belarc Advisory) from preinstalled (half chinese language) Windows 8.1 (don't know exactly the version, suspect Windows 8.1 with bing) on tablet
    2. Formatted tablet
    3. Tried to make a clean Windows 10 (HOME, HOME N and also PRO, everytime with the same result) install with ISO taken with MediaCreationTool, during install (and also after completing installation) it says that the saved serial is not valid
    4. Tried to reinstall Windows 8.1 (ISO taken with MediaCreationTool again) HOME, it says that the serial is not valid

    So i suspect that the saved serial, is from a WINDOWS 8.1 WITH BING OEM version and this kind of ISO is not accessible/downloadable anywhere (at least I can't find it, any suggestion?)

    Still not tried SHOWKEY with that serial, I am in office now, and the serial is saved on a usb pen at home, will try this evening.

    So I'm stucked but if everything is like I suspect, it's incredible. If I have a tablet/notebook/netbook with Windows 8 preinstalled, it seems that I can update to Windows 10 without problems, but if I want to make a clean Windows 10 install that serial is not valid...
