    Clean Windows 10 Install on new hardware but same key


    So I recently had computer issues and I believed it to be my 5 year old SSD. I purchased a new SSD and a fresh copy of Windows 10 about a week ago but the problems persisted so I decided to this Black Friday to just go ahead and purchase all new hardware. I want to do another clean install onto the SSD I purchased with the same copy of windows is this possible? I don't want to have to buy windows again when I just bought it a week ago. Thanks!

    :)

    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?

    Clean Windows 10 (?PRO?) install

    I have bought a legit "Windows 10 Pro" key of a key website. It is legit since i'm currently using it for over a year now. I currently have Windows 10 Pro installed on my PC and I want to do a clean install. I just can't find the windows 10 Pro download in the tool. But if i could use a windows 10 pro key with a normal windows 10 install, I'll be good to go.
