Windows 10: Reinstall Win 10 Pro from Win 8.1 upgrade.

Hey, guys.


I bought the Win 8 Pro (64bits) then it upgraded to Win 8.1 and finally to 10 Pro (64 bits) through the free Win 10 upgrade...


The Win 10 is installed on a 1TB Black Caviar.


Recently bought an Kingston A400 480GB, and want to install the Win 10 on that. How can I do that?


How can I install the Win 10 Pro on the SSD if I just have the CD for the Win 8 Pro?

I've seen threads saying that Win is bound to the hardware, other saying it's bound to the Microsoft Account (Which makes more sense.)


If I install the Win on the SSD using the Win 8 Pro CD and then enter with my MS account, it will upgrade to the Win 10 Pro?


I'm really confused with all of this, if someone could shine a light...


Going to write my specs just in case:


i7 4790K

Maximus VII Formula

Corsair Vengeance Pro 2x8GB

GTX 1060

EVGA 600B

1TB Caviar Black (OS)

320GB Toshiba (Music, photos, light programs

480GB Kingston A400


Thanks in advance!

Win 10 Pro upgrade using Win 8 Pro product key

I just bought a new computer running Win 10 Home. When I went to upgrade to Win 10 Pro using my Win 8 Pro product key from my old computer, the upgrade wouldn't activate.

Now I'm stuck with a bunch of error messages (mainly 0xC004C003) and am being told windows isn't activated. I can't seem to get my activated Win 10 Home back.

I don't have a product key for the Win 10 Home because it came pre-installed. There's no product code recorded on the packaging or labelling on the device.

So:

How do I either

• activate the Win Pro upgrade, or
• Get my activated Win 10 home back?
