  1. Installing unactivated windows before building a PC


    Hi,

    If Windows is installed in one computer and activated on another one, which motherboard gets linked to the license?

    The reason is, I'm bulding a gaming pc from scratch. I don't have the graphics card yet, but I'd like to start using it as the house server. Because the processor doesn't come with integrated graphics, I'm planning to install windows 10 and teamviewer for remote access.

    I have a laptop where I can connect the new pc's SSD. If I use the laptop to install windows on the SSD without activating it and teamviewer, then place the SSD on the new computer, and then remotely activating windows on the new PC, would it give any license problem?

    Thanks for the help!

    :)

    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?
