Windows 10: Windows 10 Pro on an old PC / Windows 11 Pro on a new PC.

I have a previous install media retail, USB of Windows 10 Pro that I have been using for years now that I want to install on a newly built PC to upgrade to Windows 11 Pro since it meets the requirements. I would really like to keep my Windows 10 Pro PC as a backup for other tasks and the new PC as my main gaming rig. Can I install the same media with the original key and keep both installations without issue?

I ordered a new gaming pc and it comes with windows 11 pro but unactivated if I log in to my new gaming pc with my old windows 10 pro Microsoft account, will it have my new gaming pc already activated even if i log into my new gaming pc with an microsoft account already linked to windows 10 pro.

 

Windows 10 Pro on old PC that failed and new PC purchased and activated by shop but it is Windows 11 Home, not Pro. How do I change it to Pro?

My old PC was Windows 10 Pro, and failed. I purchased my new PC and the shop was able to activate Windows 11 using a digital license linked to my Microsoft account but it did not activate as Windows 11 Pro, only Windows 11 Home. How do I get it to change to Windows 11 Pro.

My old device is still registered in my Microsoft account and I also need to remove it.

 

Microsoft to Introduce Windows 10 Pro for Workstation PCs

Microsoft is seemingly going to introduce another version of their Windows 10 operating system. After introducing Windows 10 S earlier in the year, followed by the "Chinafinitive" Windows 10 China Government Edition, the company is seemingly responding to specific market demands of professionals and enterprises. The new Windows 10 Pro for Workstation PCs (which was first leaked by Microsoft itself through an erroneous upload to the Insider Program) will apparently come in two variants, a standard variant, and the N variant, which is built to comply with EU regulations.

The new Windows 10 Pro for Workstation PCs will introduce ReFS, the successor to the tried and true NTFS file system. The new ReFS is designed for fault-tolerance and is optimized for handling large data volume, including auto-correcting capabilities and backwards-compatibility with NTFS. Additionally, Microsoft is baking in SMB Direct protocol file sharing in Windows 10 Pro for Workstation which allows for high throughput, low latency and low CPU utilization when accessing network shares. It will also introduce support for systems with up to four CPUs (up from Windows 10 and Windows 10 Pro dual CPU limit) and 6 TB of RAM.
