Switching Installations to a New Machine
I have Win 10 installed on my current Dell mid-tower - I downloaded the Win 10 installer and retrieved the installer activation "key."
But I just purchased a newer Dell tower with no OS. I want to wipe the drive and install Win 10 fresh, using this same key. I have no use for the older Dell and will probably wipe the drive and give it away.
My question is, how does Microsoft handle the registration on a new machine, using this same activation key?
What should I expect?
Can I "un-activate" the older machine and simply activate the new one?
Thank you!
