Windows 10: Windows 10 transfer?

Hi, approximately six months ago I built a desktop computer, upgrading from an old laptop. I needed to see if everything worked OK with an OS, so I used the Windows installation, but did not have a key, and I just kept it without having a key. Recently I was planning to use the 1Tb SSD the old laptop had for extra storage, and was wondering if I could use the Windows OS from the old computer as that OS is activated under a Windows license.


Is it possible to use that windows license, as activation for the new computer?


Or is it possible to use the drive from the laptop as a Primary activated Windows OS onto the new computer, and deleting the Non-Activated Windows OS from the new drive to use it as a storage drive.


NOTE: I do not have a product key. I do not have that 25-digit code. I could not find one on the stickers on the laptop, and I do not have the packaging for it. It says it is activated under a windows license. And for the laptop SSD, I am planning to try and wipe everything on the SSD except Windows 10.

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 using Windows 7 key

Nope, you need to install Windows 10 first and make sure the Windows 7 key is transferred to your Windows account after you've installed Windows 10 (not quite sure how that works). I missed the last step and I could not activate Windows 10 after a re-install... Microsoft seem to have done everything they can to make it a PITA. Also, it's technically too late to do this now anyhow, as the upgrade offer has expired. But KMSPico works quite well...

As for getting rid of Windows, delete the Windows folder.
