    Windows 10 Cloned Installed on my New PC


    I had a HP Slimline Pavilian PC with Windows 7 that I switched over to Windows 10 two (2) weeks ago. I liked the new Windows 10. However, I recently noticed this past weekend, that the EaseUS Backup Software that I had on Windows 7 apparently stopped working when the Windows 10 Software was installed. I have three external hard-drives (EHDs), one EHD for System Backup; one EHD for photos backup and the third EHD for documentation backup. Both the photos and the documentation successfully backed up. However, the System didn't successfully backup and I switched the backup from one of the EHDs that was designated for System Backups to the C-Drive.


    Since I knew it was going to take some time, I took a nap and when I awoke, I learned that the PC had crashed. So, I went to a Computer Store in Ozamiz City, Mindanao, Philippines and purchased a new 1TB Hard-drive with associated hardware which included what I believed to be Windows 10. However, I just learned from my daughter-in-law who accompanied yesterday, that what was installed, is a Clone Version of Windows 10 (which coincidentally doesn't look like what I just saw on a MSN Site) which supposedly will never upgrade. If I had known that a Clone Version had been installed, I would have paid for an Original Windows 10.


    Now, what I need to know is, can I delete the Clone Version of Windows 10 (which doesn't upgrade) and upgrade a new Windows 10 (like I had been using on my former PC) with the former Key Number that I had when using Windows 7 / 10 prior to the crash?



    Thanks for your responses.

    :)

    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?
