Windows 10: My sister bought a new pic and we are having trouble with the windows 10 activation

Hi all, I was hoping someone here may be able to help us out . My sister bought a new computer and when she wiped it and turned it back on, it’s asking for her windows 10 home license key. Her old computer has windows 10 pro and she was wondering if there was a way to download windows 10 pro on the new device and user the product key associated with her account on the new device. I am having trouble finding any info online and would appreciate any insight. Thanks!

Edit: new pc sorry auto correct

Recently installed a new motherboard, now having troubles activating Windows 10.

Hi Peter,

To activate your Windows 10 after a major hardware change, we suggest that you check and follow the steps from the following links:

• Re-Activating Windows 10 after major hardware replacement (Thread).
• Reactivating Windows 10 after a hardware change.

We would appreciate it if you could get back to us and provide us your feedback.

 

Windows 10 Tweaks

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

I updated my sister laptop to Windows 10 from Windows 8.1. Everything worked fine but after the reboot there is a black screen

• Keyboard No response.
• No cursor

Tried following.

• From Safe mode I tried to turn off the Fast boot " REG ADD "HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Power" /V HiberbootEnabled /T REG_dWORD /D 0 /F "

• Disabled the Monitor driver and restarted the windows but still no response.
• **** + Ctrl + Esc no response
• Alt + Ctrl + Del no response.

I don’t want to reinstall from scratch. My sister has memorable pictures and videos in the Laptop.

Microsoft please help.
