    Licenses and swapping SSD's with Windows 10 and Windows 11


    I've got some questions about licenses and a clean install of Windows 11.I'm using a HP laptop that until recently contained an SSD NVMe M.2 let's call that SSD "SSD1" with Windows 10 Professional installed with an OEM license. Windows 10 was installed on this laptop when I bought it and it functioned perfectly. A few weeks ago I decided to check Windows 11 Professional out. I bought a new SSD NVMe M.2 let's call that SSD "SSD2" for that purpose and I obtained a retail license / key for Windows 11 Professional.My idea was to retain the Windows 10 installation on SSD1 and do a complet

  2. Windows 10 Pro's digital license for activating Windows 11 on another SSD

    I currently use Windows 10 Pro with a digital license and I'd like to buy another SSD for my PC and install Windows 11 on it. When do this, I guess the digital license will activate Windows 11 Pro too on the new SSD. If I now swap the SSDs and decide to use Windows 10 again, will it remain activated or will I be able to only use Windows 11 from now on? In other words: will both installations remain activated so I can swap the SSDs anytime or will I be able to use only one of them?

    Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

    Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

    • Open a new Explorer window.
    • Click View in the ribbon.
    • Click Options.
    • Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
    • Click OK

    Windows 10 upgrade license

    Hello guys,

    I have 1 license of WIndows 8.1 FPP/retail license. I want to upgrade to WIndows 10, but I one thing is unclear to me.
    If I upgrade, will WIndows 10 license be retail or it will "turn" into some sort of OEM license?

    I ask this because I upgrade my PC, you know, more memory, replace HDD, and I intend to upgrade the MB and CPU to Kaby Lake platform sometime in the future, (and of course sell the replaced hardware)
    This thing is not clearly mentioned anywhere.

    Thank you.
