    Help installing windows on new PC with old key


    Hello,

    I bought a Windows 7 license 2012 for my then new PC. I have upgraded that license for free to windows 10. Now i have bought a new PC, deactivated the key on my old PC and installed Windows 10 on my new PC successfully. However, the license is not activated and i can't get it activated. Any help on what to do?

    I've follow many guides online with no success *Sad

    This is how the "Activation" tab in settings looks:

    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?
