  1. Moving Windows 10 Pro (upgrade purchased from Microsoft Store) activation to new hard drive


    I purchased the Windows 10 Pro upgrade in April from the Microsoft Store. I have replaced the hard drive which was built using the Create Installation Media tool. The new hard drive was successfully installed but is running Windows 10 Home. How do I transfer my Pro license to the new hard drive? FYI, I did NOT get an email from the Store with a product key.

    :)

    Laptop died weeks after Windows 10 Pro upgrade purchase from Windows Store

    I had Windows 10 Home and purchased a Windows 10 Pro upgrade through the Windows Store. The hard drive died on this 5 1/2 year old computer and I destroyed the (encrypted) hard drive and discarded the laptop. I just bought a new laptop, undelivered as
    yet, with Windows 10 Home installed.I'm currently using a 15-year-old Thinkpad, upgraded from its original Windows XP to Vista to 10. This is not the computer I wish to upgrade to the Pro version (it's too low powered). How can I transfer to the new
    Windows 10 Home computer, yet to arrive, the Windows 10 Pro upgrade that I purchased for the last trashed laptop using the digital activation from the Windows Store? I understand that this is possible. Thanks to all.

    From http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-10/why-activate-windows-10

    If you upgraded to Windows 10 for free and ended up in a non-activated state, try following these steps:

    • Go to Start
      Moving Windows 10 Pro (upgrade purchased from Microsoft Store) activation to new hard drive [​IMG]
      , then select Settings > Update & security > Activation.
    • Select Go to Store, and check to see if a valid license is available for your device. If a license isn't available, you'll need to buy Windows from the Store.

      Note
      • This only applies if you haven't made changes to the hardware for your device.

    or you could hack it with a crack but please note this is always risky and you don't know what's in the hack
