    install win10 on new pc after old one died


    I have a home built PC I built in 2014. It recently died. It kept throwing CMOS errors and nothing worked to fix it. I have a new PC with, unfortunately, win11 preinstalled. I want to ditch 11 and install 10. I know I can use the media creation tool to build an ISO of 10. The problem is, I have no way to determine to dead units product key. What options do I have?

    :)

    Activating Win10 in a new PC

    My old PC died. I have built a new one. I installed Win10 with an ISO. I am unable to activate Win10 as the product code I had made a note of is obviously wrong.

    Where can I find the old code so I can reactivate on my new PC?

    Drag old Chrome favorites to Chrome new Win10 PC

    My old PC died but a friend was able to get many of my files and folders saved to a USB memory stick.

    I need to restore my old Chrome favorites to my new Win10 PC.

    I cannot seem to find were to add the favorites from the memory stick to the new Win10 file structure.

    Win10: windows update stuck at never ending loop ?

    When in win10:
    • Update&security -> Windows update -> Finding update... .... .... ....
    Planning to download the latest Win10.ISO (vers.1803) and manually update:
    - Then wait that my ordered new SSD arrives and clone the old HDD to it.
