Windows 10: Windows 10 Product KeyNew PC

Hi I built a new computer recently and I kept my OS drive from my old build. It wasn't activated due to the motherboard change so I used my student windows key. I didn't use the student key previously on my old build. Eventually I want to get an OS drive on my old PC while use my new one. Can I still use my old Windows 10 Home key on my old PC? I did the upgrade to student without thinking of it deleting my old OS build. Also, the student OS build is only for one PC. Is it still possible to access that old key on put it back on my old PC?

Windows 10 Tweaks

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?
