Windows 10 Pro reinstall after significant upgrade
Hi everyone,
I took advantage of the Prime Day sales to buy upgrades for an old desktop computer. I'm replacing the motherboard, CPU, and RAM. The GPU had been replaced more recently. I currently have an SSD for the OS that I'm fine with wiping, and an HDD for all my data. I wouldn't mind replacing the SSD with a larger one for the reinstall.
The computer currently has an old version of Windows 10 Pro (1703, build 15063.1418). It was upgraded from Windows 7 that I think was installed with the Daz Loader way back when. I'd like to do a clean install because the oldness of the current components prevented the computer from updating past 1703, and I'd like a fresh install to go with the new upgrades.
How can I keep my current Windows 10 Pro license with a fresh install after upgrading?
