    Can built-in Windows 8 licence code get from the existing OS and used in Windows 10?


    Hi,


    I have Samsung NP550P5C-S05TR laptop with built-in Windows 8 OS. When I use its recovery, I can upgrade my Windows 8 to Windows 10 without any Windows licensing attempt and it is licenced by itself.



    I wonder if I get this Windows licence code from my built-in Windows 8 or from upgraded Windows 10 and use it another disk is legal or not. I am planning switch to SSD by installing Windows 10 to it and delete all of the partitions in my HDD and use the Windows licence code as the way I mentioned. Is this legal and valid?



    Thanks,

    :)

    DTS supported natively by Windows 8/8.1 and it should work on windows 10 too just DDL require to unlock your driver .

    Can built-in Windows 8 licence code get from the existing OS and used in Windows 10?

    Let's have a poll on "Your primary Windows OS"

    Let's have a poll on Your primary Windows OS:
    • Windows 10
    • Windows 7
    • Windows 8
    • Windows Vista and earlier
    Why "primary Windows OS"? Some of us may have alternative OS'es installed (CentOS for me), some of us may have two or more Windows versions installed concurrently.

    Thank you!
