    Hello all, I recently built a custom PC. I purchased a Windows 10 Pro USB from Amazon and installed Windows on this new pc. However, I was unhappy with the motherboard, so I swapped the motherboard out immediately after. However, I forgot to do any sort of de-activation for Windows 10 prior to the hardware swap and I have no way to do so since I returned the previous motherboard already. Will I be able to use my product key on a clean install of Windows 10 on this new motherboard? At the moment, I have not reformatted the SSD, which still currently has Windows 10 installed on it. I do still ha

    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?
