    Cannot Dual-Boot Windows 10 On Same PC With Same Key


    I have a working PC and has an app (Autodesk Revit Architecture) already running good. However, I would prefer to have it running 'only' on an OS. Called Microsoft support to know if I can dual-boot Windows 10 on the same PC with the same key; I was told "No" I cannot use the same key. I thought as much.

    No, my PC runs without the login screen which means, I power the PC on and it boots straight to the desktop which is how I planned it. Now, since I cannot do a dual-boot (two Windows 10 on same PC with same key) on my current Windows, can I then create a new profile, install Revit and still be able to change to the new profile without logging in to either boot? I don't like using password on my PCs.

    In other words, can I boot to the desktop, log out to log in to the other profile (Revit Profile) without the login screen?

    Thanks in advance.

    :)

    Using the same product key twice on the same pc

    Ciao,

    you can both use the same product key or clone your disk.

    A detailed step-by-step guide using EaseUS free software can be found here:

    Hope this helps, please let me know.

    Ciao

    Dual boot with same OS, that is Windows 10 Pro on both

    Thanks Andre.

    Let me see if I understood your posting. You have installed a dual boot with Win10 on both "boots". And you have activated both installations with the same digital license. You did not needed an additional license key to activate either installation.

    Am I right?

    Cannot Dual-Boot Windows 10 On Same PC With Same Key

    New profile? Should be able to but will probably need a password on one to get the choice to pick which on the login screen [ I had to do it that way on one of my computers when I set it up to dual-boot RTM and IP versions].

    Most likely the second install of the same is seeing the same hardware already has a digital entitlement/license therefore the activation is failing.

    I feel your point in using a new profile. Guess I can't eat my cake and have it also. I'd rather use a new profile (clean log in) with a password to be able to do what I need. I will create a new profile. Thanks for the information, well appreciated!
