  1. New PC need to transfer Windows 10


    I got my Windows 10 Pro as a student few years ago, I'm pretty sure it was just a full key or license that I attached to my Microsoft account. Now I got a new PC and I want to activate Windows 10 on that but it doesn't work (despite logging in with my digital license MS Acc), so I need the product key or whatever for MS Support to help me. I cannot find the product key in emails as I no longer am a student there. Is there a way to find my product key or just transfer the rights from old to new PC?

    Tried: wmic path softwarelicensingservice get oa3xoriginalproductkey (Returns nothing).

    I'm scared to uninstall the license then try on new PC because what if it doesn't work I'll lose both.

    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

    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?
