    Migrating Windows 10 to new hardware


    I would like to clone the disk of my old Windows 10 PC with a W10pro OEM license to a new PC that also has a W10 pro OEM license. The new PC has not been unboxed yet ;The cloning is not the problem. I did this before with Macrium Reflect or EaseUS and this works as long as the disk is not moved to new hardware.Now when i move the cloned disk to the new PC i expect to run into a licensing problem ???What is the correct way to do this without buying a retail license?Any help is appreciated.

    :)

    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

    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?
