  1. Do I have to re-purchase windows 10 after new motherboard installed and system wipe?


    I recently got a new motherboard and I am unable to activate Windows 10 on here. I lost everything on my computer due to it crashing. Therefore, the only way to have everything set back to normal was to do a system reset. I was wondering if I'd be able to get Windows 10 back without have to purchase it again. I did some research online, and got no luck.

    :)

    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?
