  1. Can I replace a Windows 10 OEM license SDD newer motherboard with an HDD with Windows 10...


    I recently purchased a refurbished Dell Optiplex 7090 that has a Windows 10 Pro OEM license key. It has a 256GB SSD which is not enough room for what I need. My old computer, Dell Inspiron 3847, has an 8TB HDD with a Windows 10 Pro Retail License. Can I put the 8TB HDD in the new computer and remove the SSD from the old one and be able to use the Windows retail license on the HDD from the old computer?When I tried that it showed error 0xc000000e and only gave me options to repair Windows using a bootable install disc/USB. If I do this will it erase everything on my 8TB HDD?

    :)

    Windows 10 upgrade license

    Hello guys,

    I have 1 license of WIndows 8.1 FPP/retail license. I want to upgrade to WIndows 10, but I one thing is unclear to me.
    If I upgrade, will WIndows 10 license be retail or it will "turn" into some sort of OEM license?

    I ask this because I upgrade my PC, you know, more memory, replace HDD, and I intend to upgrade the MB and CPU to Kaby Lake platform sometime in the future, (and of course sell the replaced hardware)
    This thing is not clearly mentioned anywhere.

    Thank you.

    Windows 10 Hardware change

    Technically it should not activate if its a upgrade from an OEM license. But if you follow the phone automated number sequence hopefully it will work.

    Windows 10 is tied to your hardware and you cannot upgrade a motherboard on an OEM license. (but it works with the phone activation) you can only replace the board with an identical board.
