    Changing my Laptop and my Windows 10 License


    Well, I have na old laptop with Windows 7. Some years before, Microsoft do a "promotion" what I can upgrade my Windows 7 to Windows 10 Pro. Tjis license is vinculated with my Microsoft Account.

    Today, I buy a new pc, and this have Windows 10 Home Single Language, and I want upgrade (or reinstall) this version to Windows 10 Pro. I not found na option in anywhere about this. I search Activate, Upgrade and the only thing what I see is "buy the upgrade to the new Windows 10 Pro" but nothing about upgrade using my license.

    Exist a way to upgrade this or this license is just to my old pc?

    Can I need buy this pack of upgrade?



    (Sorry for some problems about this text, I try write this in english, but I'm Brazilian Changing my Laptop and my Windows 10 License :p )

    :)

    Windows 10 upgrade license

    The interesting question is that: the upgrade takes place before 29 of July. If I upgrade the PC (change the MB), and I transfer the Win 8.1 license to this new PC (cause 8.1 is retail FPP), will I be able to upgrade to Windows 10 for free? Or a upgrade license must be bought?

    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 Tweaks

    Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

    Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

    • Open a new Explorer window.
    • Click View in the ribbon.
    • Click Options.
    • Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
    • Click OK
