    I have 4 win 10 pro PC, ok, so this is question about one of them.

    How to Find Your Original Windows 10 Product Key - TechSpot

    So was wondering if I opened up a chat with an agent would they remote into my system (they did that once before to reactivate it) and email me my retail win 10 pro key. I was thinking this board is getting old and someday may just fail.

    Plus I see this too from a MS MVP, that even an OEM install can be moved once. Although I dont understand that procedure
    exactly about signing into what where and noting what? Just is not clear, can some one explain the procedure better?

    :)

    Excel will not use Thunderbird to email spreadsheet on Windows 10 Pro

    I was trying to keep it simple, she's not the sharpest knife in the drawer but kind natured.
    If i could emulate what I can do thenwhen she gets twined up I can talk her step by step.

    if we can't sort why Win 10 Excel won't see T-B as the main email client then we'll just have to go with your suggestion.

    I should have said Win 10 pro 64 bit?

    Thanks but I don't want to do any decrypting. I want to download a Win 10 ISO from Microsoft and install it using my Win 8 key. No other steps required. Is that possible?
