I’m collecting components for my new PC. I won’t reuse any previous hardware. I also don’t want to purchase Windows again. Is it possible to keep my older, active Windows version on the new system after a clean install? Thanks!

Yes, you can use the drive immediately after booting and then copy it over later.

Set up a brand new Windows installation without retaining previous data.

No, the license is not tied to your Microsoft account.

It's an OEM license, so no

I don't have any other mods in mind at the moment, but please delete

Occasionally typing the code again helps, other times it doesn’t. It’s been successful a couple of times recently, but some people haven’t had the same luck.

OEM remains connected to the MS account, enabling seamless transfer using that account.
