Windows 10: My computer is dying and upgrade is just around the corner

Hi and as the subject states, my personal computer is dying and its either the MB or chip. I bought the computer as a new build 5 years ago and was charged for a Windows 10 home key which was £100 at the time, my Question is once my new computer is built my old NOW computer will be destroyed as such and not passed on or sold, However I have been looking at some similar post about the way Windows was purchased, ie: did your computer come with Windows 10 already installed, or did you purchase it from retail? I am struggling with did you purchase it from retail as my purchase was from a computer shop and not from a lad down the road? So does this mean my purchase was retail OR does it still come under the fact It was already installed on my PC when I first ordered it, I have the product key for my original purchase and was just wondering If I can re use this on my new build OR is this also going to cost me Another £100+ to have OS, IF so for future upgrades How do I actually become the owner of a Key I purchased, being it from a computer shop OR through Microsoft's direct purchase and can be re-used by myself on any new builds in further futures? if that makes sense.


TBH if I need to buy Windows key again for my own personal use in my house then I think I will be pretty disappointed, considering my Now Computer is near its end, and you's will know I am not duplicating this Key onto 2 PC's.


A little clarity would be very useful before my decision purchase from the computer shop over me buying it for fool proof re installs


Also If I was charged by the PC shop £100 being the going rate at the time, why would it benefit them being the retail purchaser over me being the owner! surely this should be passed onto the person who owns the PC regardless of the key's purchase.


Sorry for Rant just need a littler clarity before new PC purchase, so at least I know how this Retail over OEM works


So if I get it right OEM means Shops can add Windows for you under licence but maybe for a fraction of the price, But the customer meaning ME gets charge the going rate for Windows regardless and still gets a key, if I was to build a PC and buy Windows and install myself for the same money I can move this onto another re build?



Thanks in advance for any help with this query

My computer is dying and I would like to upgrade to the new Windows 10 to a new computer(when available). Will I need to transfer the current Win 7 to that computer then upgrade or is there a way to use my old installation on the dying computer to upgrade
to the new computer?

Hello!

This has been happening since the Windows 10 update, no issues prior to the Windows 10 update

• Is this the first time you experienced the issue?

It has occurred non-stop since the Windows 10 upgrade, no issues prior to that upgrade.

• When did the issue first begin?

After the Windows 10 update.

• To make sure we have not missed on anything, what troubleshooting steps have you done so far to resolve this?

I have found a work around by decreasing the resolution on my laptop to be at 1024x768 instead of the recommended 1366x768. I cannot increase resolution from 1024x768 without the mouse being erratic and uncontrollable in the upper left corner .
