Windows 10: Windows License and switching to new CPU/GPU

Hello,


I am going to be upgrading my motherboard/CPU soon however I have been researching and have run into a problem with Windows 10 licenses and upgrading.


My question is, I have Windows 10 Home WindowsR Operating System, RETAIL channel, do I need to upgrade to Windows 10 pro to transfer my windows account over to the new motherboard? Would this be the easy way to transfer?

:)

 

Switching between discrete NVIDIA GPU and integrated Intel CPU/GPU (?)

Thanks for the rapid reply Dave.

With reference to your suggestion of "forcing" commercial 4K Bluray playback via NVIDIA GPU, please be advised that I contacted NVIDIA tech support late last year regarding this matter and they informed me, as had others in the past, that due to a lack of
certain hardware based copy protection on all discrete graphics cards, this is not possible. However, the Intel CPU is capable of such playback but I need to be able to switch between the two without having to go into BIOS and rebooting the computer every
time I change the settings, that is, if there even is such an option in the BIOS settings.

So my original question still stands.

 

Windows 10 CPU usage 100% when Nvidia GPU enabled

I've had the same problem, and have exactly the same GPU model. I was able to set the drivers back to factory default, but any update I've tried (including the most recent) causes the massive cpu usage. I've contacted tech support for both Nvidia and Asus,
and followed all the steps they suggested, with no luck.

Do as Dave instructed but choose Power Saving in place of high performance so that Cyberlink uses Intel HD Graphics.
