Reinstalling win 10
Hi
I want to reinstall a laptop currently installed with Pro x32 version and I have few questions please.
- Would the activation key still be valid if I will install the x64 version (Machine has a x64 CPU).
- I am not sure whether the current installation is a "upgraded win 8 " , or is it a direct win 10 setup.
With respect to the later activation, should I really care?
I far as i know, when upgrading from win 8 to 10 the activation key is no longer displayed in the system information. Instead all XXX-XXX-XXX-XXX is displayed.
But when checking another machine that I know for sure that has been upgraded from Win8, I see this 00330-80000-00000-AA695 product key, which looks with two many zeros.
The machine I want now to reinstall, has also this kind of many zeros product key, a bit different though.
Tx
