What is a noob dumb question?
Basic inquiry. If your current setup uses Windows 10 and you want to start fresh, you won’t need a completely new OS unless you’re replacing the whole system. You can usually transfer the settings and files from your old PC to the new one. Just make sure to back up important data first. It’s not always necessary to buy a new version if you’re just moving it over. Let me know if you need more details!
It's possible to obtain the product key from the registry and test it on a new PC. https://www.techspot.com/guides/1760-fin...oduct-key/
Log in to your Microsoft account on your current PC and link the Windows installation to it. When setting up a new system, you can log in using the same credentials to register Windows 10 via that account.
You can generate a bootable Windows USB using their software. You only require an 8GB memory card. At a retail location, you pay for the device, not the USB itself.
Lol yeah I just worded it wrong. I know you're paying to the key I just think I wasted money when I ordered the usb key. I didn't know you could transfer my current key to a new computer. Hopefully Amazon will let me return it. (I haven't even received it yet, its in the mail still)
Sorry for the disruption. If you link your new PC to the old one using the same key, the previous setup should remain intact unless there are restrictions in place. The system won’t automatically block it, but ensure both devices are properly configured.
