    Can I purchase Windows 10 and install it on another device?


    I have a Windows Surface tablet that I was given at an old workplace a few years ago. I just started studying and would really like to use the tablet as it's just gathering dust at the moment - but I can't sign in as it's connected to the organisation, which is no longer about. If I try to restore it, it asks me for a recovery key. I don't have this, and there is no one from that old company to ask for it anymore.I'm happy to spend the money on a new Windows 10 license, and I'm not fussed about restoring anything from that tablet in terms of programs or files.Can this be done?

    :)

    It's good that you're not experiencing any issues. Unfortunately many folks are, a quick Google search will show the same info im offering the OP.

    Heres a couple examples:

    Here

    It's basically what I mentioned above, small issues here and there ,but nothing to end your day.. for the most part.

    I know it's anecdotal, but for my experience 95% of the time it's perfectly fine. The issues I've run into wouldn't be enough for me to roll back , but they would be enough (had I not installed it yet) ,to avoid it for another couple weeks which is why I'm suggesting it to the OP
