    dual boot... one key w10pro.

    I have a tricky Q

    I have two bays/drives HDD (C:/ w10pro 650GB+ T:/ 350GB) +( D:/ 500GB) currently

    if take the D:/ out AND IN ITS PLACE put SSD and install W10Pro (same key as C:/ - is upgrade from 8.1 pro needs key???) on SSD

    can boot choose on turn on of PC either from C:/ or from SSD???

    in other words

    w10pro.

    IF CAN, HOW FIND KEY W10PRO IN CURRENT???

  3. Reinstalling OS - Upgrading from W7=>W10 after July29

    I have upgraded my W7Pro Laptop to W10Pro already, but next week need to replace the HDD with an SSD.

    My question is; what will happen when I reinstall W7 and try to Upgrade to W10 as it will be after July29. Am I still eligble for the free upgrade?

  5. Until you change your Motherboard. .. Ms stores hash IDs(dont know which) as a proof of activation on their servers.
    U so ever have upgraded to windows 10 make sure to sign in with Microsoft account instead of local account.. this way even if a hardware change is made to a computer you can still activate windows in case of Failure.
