Windows 10: Transfer Windows 10 PRO to a new PC

Hello

I'm building my new PC and I am wondering if it is technically and legally possible to transfer my Windows 10 PRO license from one or both of my old laptops.

Scenario 1: I've bought a laptop with Windows 8 preinstalled on it. I know that this is OEM and not transferable... but... after some time i've upgraded it to Windows 8.1 and later on to Windows 10(i know that it is still OEM)... but... I'm not sure when exactly(if it was still win 8.1 or win 10 already) but I've used my old Windows 7 Ultimate Reatil Box licence to upgrade it to PRO version. I know that my retail box version is transferable. So is my Windows 10 PRO version on this laptop transferable or not?

Scenario 2: My second laptop came with no OS preinstalled. I've bought Windows 8 PRO OEM System Builder Version. As far as I know System Builder version for Windows 8(and windows 8 only) was like box version for personal use. So i guess it was transferable... but I've upgraded it to Windows 8.1 PRO... again as far as I know Microsoft changed few things in the licence when it comes to 8.1 and it was back to "normal" OEM. What does that mean for me? Did I loose my right to transfer my Windows licence after upgrading to 8.1? Later on I've updated this laptop to Windows 10 PRO and I am not sure if I can transfer it to my new PC or not?



Thank you in advance for your help

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

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?
