  1. Existing OS win10 pc swap


    Hi,


    I had a laptop with win10 and a ssd in it but never used it.



    I put now the ssd into a new pc and it seems to work fine. Do I have to do a new installation of win 10 or can I use the old installation?


    thx

    :)

  2. Swap HDD between PCs with Win10

    Hi,

    I just bought a ASUG G20 gaming PC that comes with a 1TB HDD and a OEM Win10 installed with a digital key. I have a custom built Win10 PC with a 500GB SSD and a Win10 digital license (from a Win8 upgrade) linked to my account.

    Can I from a Win10 license point-of-view simply swap the HDD over and expect the licenses to function correctly?

    My worry is that the OEM license will not work on my custom built PC and that I cannot swap the licenses "around" - any suggestions on how this functions?

    Regards

    Jeppe

      Enter.
    • Turn off Autocorrect misspelled words and Highlight misspelled words.
    • Restart your PC.
    • Do step 1 and 2 but this time turn on Autocorrect misspelled words
      and Highlight misspelled words.
