  1. If I install windows 11 on my desktop can I use the product key that is tied to my laptop?


    So I have a desktop that needs a new hard drive and I kno when the hard drive is replaced the OS has to be put back on as well. I also have a laptop that's running fine. Can I link my Microsoft account to my desktop and access windows 11 that way?

    :)

  2. Activate windows 10 after re-installing (I have lost my product key)

    I own a Lenovo T430 laptop. In 2017, I installed Windows 10 using my original Windows 7 product key. Unfortunately, I cannot find that product key anymore. I need to re-install windows 10. Will it be automatically activated after the installation, if I skip the step of asking the product key during the installation?

    In my opinion, I believe that my laptop will have a digital entitlement stored on the Microsoft Activation Servers and this will not be a problem. Is that true?

    If not, please suggest me a solution or a workaround.

    If I install windows 11 on my desktop can I use the product key that is tied to my laptop?

    Win10 updated from Win8 - does clean install loose product key?

    Use this option. With Internet connection, if asked for product key, click on "Skip This Step" or "I don't have a product Key". Windows will be activated automatically.
