I just got new hard drives for my PC. I need to reinstall Windows 10 Pro and handle activation. The issue is that more hardware will arrive only in mid-June, but I must install the drives by next week for an upcoming project. I’m eager to install them now and then add the rest later without running into problems with activating Windows 10.
It shouldn't cause issues unless the operating system is an OEM variant. However, chances are it probably isn't.
The Windows 10 Pro version I own comes from when Microsoft provided it as a complimentary upgrade for one year, meaning it isn't an original equipment manufacturer product.
