    transferring Windows 10 Educational onto a new PC


    This might have been discussed already, but lately search has not been friendly to me. Moreover, my question is specific to the educational version of Windows. I have it installed on a separate SSD in my current machine, I use it rarely for testing purposes - my main OS is still Windows 7. Yea, I know, end of life, etc. - but it works great for me and I simply hate the way Windows 10 is integrated with the internet (mostly, connecting all the time to servers I don't know where for purposes unknown to me). But, I'm building a new machine and it seems unlikely I'll be able to install Windows 7 on it, simply because the lack of drivers.

    So, since I already have Windows 10, I don't want to spend more money on it and would like to transfer the current license (I will need a clean install of course) to the new machine. The version I have is Educational (with a bit more control over updates and such). Are there any caveats on transferring this license or should I just use the standard tutorial?

    :)

    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?
