  1. Do I need to buy a new version of Windows 10?


    Hi


    A friend built my PC in 2011 using a OEM system builder pack version of Windows 7. I then upgraded my PC hard drive and moved Windows from HDD to SSD drive. I then later upgraded to Windows 10 from Windows 7.


    I would now like to build a new PC and install Windows 10 using a USB, and use the product key from my current version of Windows.


    Will this work or do I need to purchase a new version of Windows 10?


    Thanks

    Dom

    :)

    Do I really need to buy a new version of Windows 10?

    I just replaced my motherboard and in order for it to "take", for lack of a better word, I had to reinstall Windows 10 onto my computer so that it would register. The issue now is that, for some reason, my computer is telling me that I need to buy a new
    version of Windows. Do I really need to do that? I already bought it, I'm still paying for it and Windows Office every month, it's still only on this computer, my account should still be registered with it. If I don't need to do that, then what do I do to
    remedy this issue?

    would my windows stay activated in this setup or do i need to buy new?

    so its a scam? or thats why the listing says you have to call and re activate or something?

    is there any place to buy a legit brand new product key for 7?

    Do I need to buy a new version of Windows 10?

    I need HELP with finding a new laptop

    Hi guys.
    I am looking for a new laptop for work. The requirements I have are:
    • Portability & Lightweight since I have to carry it around every single day
    • 13'' with at least 8GB RAM the more the better but that will do
    • at least 8 hours of Battery life I don't want to stress about that
    • 500 GB HD will do
    • I need it to work fast!
    Honestly, I want to buy a MacBook, but it's pricey so I am not sure it is worth it. What will you suggest?
