    Laptop dead, possible to retrieve Windows 10 key for new custom-built computer?


    Hi all, back in January 2016 I purchased an Asus Zenbook Signature Edition laptop from the Microsoft store, which came with a full version of Windows 10 Home pre-installed. However, the laptop died on me sometime last year.Now, I am building a new PC and was wondering if I can somehow retrieve the license key from that laptop to use on my new machine?Thank you.

    :)

    Upgrading on a brand new custom built computer

    Would it be possible to get windows 10 for free on a brand new custom built computer with no current OS on it?

    windows 10 key

    Thanks but I don't want to do any decrypting. I want to download a Win 10 ISO from Microsoft and install it using my Win 8 key. No other steps required. Is that possible?

    Laptop dead, possible to retrieve Windows 10 key for new custom-built computer?

    Is it legal to use Windows 10 OEM Key on a custom built computer?

    Hi I am planing to buy a new computer. But a catch with it is that I need to get an Windows 10 key.

    I saw sites like Kinguin and G2A where they sell Windows 10 OEM keys for 15-20$.

    I just wanted to be sure if getting those keys and activating on my custom built pc is legal or not.
