    Will I lose my license?


    So, I currently have a Windows 10 Pro license upgraded from Windows 8.1.

    If I buy a new SSD, and install Windows 10 using the same CD-Key which my current Windows 10 has (no other hardware change, only SSD) will that work or will I have to buy a new license?

    :)

  2. If I rename my account will I lose my calendars and contacts on my phone?

    My live account is based on my @lineone.net email address and my phone is linked to this account. I have been using an @outlook.com alias with my account. This email comes in on my phone but if i reply from my phone it is sent as my @lineone.net account
    which is no longer working.
    I would like to use my outlook alias as my main account name and be able to send as well as receive fro my phone with this email.
    2 questions please?
    What do i do to transfer to this as my main email for my live account?
    Will my phone, when reset, change and pick up my current live account calendar, contacts and email that i don't want to lose.
    Thanks for your help

    You will have to hard reset your phone for sure, but since it's the same Microsoft account, your contacts, calendar and email will come back automatically. You can always verify your data at Outlook.com. What you see there will be what comes back on to
    your phone. You'll also be able to redownload any apps you paid for for free.

    Will I lose my license?

    I have 2 SSD's installed on my machine, one is a CLONE. After I make a new CLONE, (backup purposes) I usually boot up on the Clone and test for a day or so. No Problems yet.

    It will be fine - no need to enter any key as you now have a digital licence tied to your mobo.
