New win10 system build, how do I activate from my old upgraded win7?
Hi,
I'm building a new system and would like to use the license from my dismantled old system.
The old system started with win7 and has been upgraded all the way up to win10 through the years.
I purchased a "Windows 10 Home 64-bit Installation/Recovery Disc Only" to simplify things.
I will install this first.
From what I read I now have a digital license for the old system.
I'm wondering how do I transfer the license to the new system?
Do I need to "un-register" the old system?
I have the original product key but my new system has completely new hardware (except for DVD player) so I don't see how the license can be linked automatically.
I haven't tried yet so I'm just gathering info for when I do in a couple days.
Thanks!
