I’m preparing my upcoming PC build soon, targeting the first week of January with an i7-6800K and X99 architecture. I have a query about installing Windows 10. Since I intend to keep my existing drives, I’m curious if simply mounting my boot SSD would work smoothly. I obtained Windows 10 through the free upgrade plan, and even if I need to reinstall later, I’m okay as long as I avoid buying it again.

I believe you can remove the licensing restrictions, reinstall the software, and update the license code accordingly.

You can attempt the process and then obtain a fresh license from kinguin.Net for $25 if needed. Ensure you have a bootable Windows 10 installation media prepared in advance.

I missed the commands in the prompt, but I can search for you. Try looking up "how to unlicense Windows 10" online.

I looked into it. I own 10 Pro keys, but the only ones available are OEM models, which could be a problem because I plan to upgrade later. Having non-OEM keys out in the field is concerning.

Sure, you definitely require a retail key. I only receive a new OEM key whenever I upgrade my platform because I rarely do upgrades.

No, Pro doesn’t require a key. Just connect the license to your Microsoft account, generate a 10 install media, and log in with your account.

I genuinely value my privacy, so I opt for a local account. I don’t have a Microsoft account and won’t have one ever.

It’s not necessary to launch an extensive privacy complaint (Windows 10 causes issues, many of your other accounts face similar problems, etc.), but it does complicate things.
