Successful Transfer of Win10Pro to new laptop -from win7Pro retail key
Hi
I have another question if I may....
Have just upgraded my new laptop from Win10 Home to Win10 Pro by entering the Win7Pro RETAIL licence key that I used to upgrade the old laptop.
My question is about this process. Is this an 'upgrade' in the old sense of the word, i.e. as opposed to a full clean install?
Or does it just effectively 'unlock' the pro functionality that was already there?
If an upgrade in the old sense of the word, once Win10Pro has been activated on the new laptop (and of course deactivated on the new laptop) can I then reinstall Win10Pro as a clean install now that my new machine has been associated with the Pro key? Update: or is there no need?
SECOND UPDATE SOLVED
"Preparing for upgrade window" 100% Complete and stuck with rotating dots..... do I wait or will I have to try something else? It kicked in so wasn't stuck - just looked like it. Took about 45minutes looking stuck.
