Installation question - moving from 7 to 10 under the free upgrade
My current system is dying a death now and so I've taken the plunge and I'm building my next one this week. My current system is Win7 Home with an unused Win10 upgrade. I am weighing up the upgrade and wanted to go for it.
The problem is, I am unable to actually undertake the Windows 10 upgrade on my current PC despite it passing all of the tests associated with it - see this thread if you were interested in why.
I'm "retiring" my old hardware (actually re-purposing it in a SFF box as a media centre running non-Windows OS) and my plan was to move the Windows licence over to my new PC.
It's going to be fundamentally different - the only hardware remaining constant is the graphics card.
So based on the above, am I "stuck" with Windows 7 now (no bad thing to be honest) or is there a method by which I can transfer the free upgrade over to my new PC?
Thanks!
