    Hi all,Having a case that no Google can help me with.I've bought a laptop with pre-installed Win10 Home on it. I've needed Pro features, so I've paid what I had to pay and upgraded to Win 10 Pro.Now I've bought myself new laptop - with no OS pre-installed, counting on the fact that I've purchased Windows already.However it seems that one cannot move the pre-installed Windows to the new computer.The question is - does it mean that I've spend money to update to Pro just to give it away to the guy I will sell computer to? Should I buy myself a Pro license once again, or is there another way? Than

    :)

  2. Win 10 Pro account management

    hi, all --

    I just bought my wife a new Dell laptop with Win 10 Pro installed. She has signed in as herself, with her email address. This first account has admin privileges. How do I create a second USER account for her? Win 10 does not permit the same email address
    on two accounts.

    (Previously, we would have an admin account solely for installs / uninstalls, etc., and other strictly user accounts for normal, day-to-day working. Is there a new model here?)

    And the next step will be copying/migrating her user profile from the older Win 7 Pro laptop to the new. Is there anything about user accounts that would matter for this?

    Thanks in advance,

    John Kwasnik

    Why do create a new account require email for Win 10?

    Win10 is pre-installed for my new notebook, for the first time to create user, Win 10 does not require any email, but after I reset factory setting and install Win 10, it requires email for new account. I would like to know on how to create user without
    requiring email for Win 10.

    Does anyone have any suggestions?

    Thanks in advance for any suggestions
