    Can I install Windows 10 from old PC to new machine?


    Hi there!

    Recently my old pc stopped working (motherboard is not working). I've decided to buy new pc - actually a laptop. The issue is that i bought it without OS because it was about 400$ cheaper. Also I have working hard drive from old pc with windows 10 (upgraded 8.1).

    Is it possible to install it on this new update or I have to buy new license?

    Also if I have to buy new windows is there any way to see legit online shops that sells windows?

    Sorry if my questions are quite noob but I'm not really "technical" type of guy

    Installing Windows 10 on New PC?

    I'm going to be building a new PC on Christmas and want to install Windows 10 on it. I have Windows 10 on my current PC, which I installed upgrading from 8.1 with the files on a USB. How do I go about installing a clean copy of Windows 10 on this new PC? I think I recall something about installing it once makes Microsoft recognize your hardware, but since this will be a PC I'm not sure what steps I need to take. Do I need to go 8.1 -> 10 or is there a method of going directly to 10?
