Windows 10: Windows 10 Transferring

Hi,


I'm currently running Win10 20H2 19042.685 and in the next month or so I'm wanting to decommission this current PC and transfer my Windows10 license to a new PC I'm building. I had a retail copy of Windows 7 with product key which I took advantage of the free upgrade to Windows 10 a few years back when it was available.


In Settings > Update & Security > Activation it says "Windows is activated with a digital license linked to your Microsoft account"


Is there anyway to find out if this transfer would be allowed? If so I'm assuming I would just download the media creation tool, then insert said stick into the new PC, install Win10 and enter my Microsoft account details?


Any pointers to the information I'm looking for would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

:)

 

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.
