    New Hdd windows 10 wont activate


    Hi guys. I just replace my hdd after the old one fail on me.The old hdd was window 7 upgraded to 10 and was also activate,i also made, a usb w10 back up too.(call me noobie *Homer Drooling)I needed up using the back up usb to install window 10 and also the old w10 cd key on the hdd to get it going .It works ,but the it wont activate...Is it because i never use a recovery disk,can i undo this??..Also i only have a local disk (c)...Chers

    :)
     

  2. Will I be charged for Windows 10 activation or will it be pre-activated?

    Thank you for your reply Mr. Singh.

    Your reply helped me a wee bit. However i am still confused. I recently purchased a new HDD and would like to install Windows 10 directly on it. This new HDD is clean and has no software installed. I used my old HDD to back up my data and to download and
    put the Windows 10 files into a bootable usb. Now that i have done that, i want to install Windows 10 on the new HDD(which has no windows installed). My main question is, If i install windows 10 on the new HDD using the windows 8 key i already have, will it
    activate? or will i need to install windows 8 on the new HDD and activate and then upgrade to Windows 10?

    Thank you

    What if I have activated Windows 10 on device, then replace the Hard Drive and reinstall windows 10?

    I have an new computer but I haven't replace 350Gb HDD yet, I upgrade free windows 10 yesterday and of course it's activated permanent. But I decide to replace the HDD for the new one and the old one I decide to be backup drive. Will windows 10 still activated
    and genuine as now?

    You should run slmgr /dlv from command prompt to get the result.

    Anyway I think you need to change the key to this one *****-*****-DKB77-7M9GH-8HVX7 (Not sure if we are allowed to post these - so google the rest)

    That's what I was thinking. From Command Prompt (Admin) run these commands:

    The results of slmgr /dlv should look like this:

    Yep, that's the ticket - he probably has the old Build 10240 key anomaly.
