    Move Windows 10 PRO license to new PC


    I am in the process of decommissioning my old PC where I had Windows 10 PRO upgraded from Windows 8 Enterprise- I had purchased. I do not have the License key from Windows 8 Days. If I get the license key from my current PC using one of many VBS scripts available in online forums can I use the license from current PC to upgrade the new PC Windows 10 home 64 bit to Windows 10 PRO? Do I Need to remove the key from my old PC first? My Windows 10 PRO license is not manufacturer provided.Thanks

    :)

    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

    The interesting question is that: the upgrade takes place before 29 of July. If I upgrade the PC (change the MB), and I transfer the Win 8.1 license to this new PC (cause 8.1 is retail FPP), will I be able to upgrade to Windows 10 for free? Or a upgrade license must be bought?
