    Moving Windows 10 from broken laptop to new PC *(Installing in a new Storage)


    Hello guys,
    soo, I got 3 questions , here's the scenario :
    I've got a broken laptop, with an activated Windows 10 Home in the laptop's HDD,
    Now, I want to move to PC, but I don't want to use the HDD again as a boot device,
    instead, I want to have it installed in a new SSD I purchased...

    The questions are :
    1. How do I check if my Windows 10 Home activation key is linked with my microsoft account?
    2. Is it possible to get my Windows 10 home activated just by logging into my new PC?
    3. Once I login into my PC with my microsoft account and get it activated, will the installed Windows 10 Home in my HDD still be active?

    Thanks in advance >w<)/

    :)

    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?
