My MS account shows two copies of one machine name. I suspect this happened when I upgraded my desktop's mobo/processor and cloned the old hardrive to a new faster drive. Now there are two copies of...
Ok, I built the machine, it's up and running. My old install is working as is the new clean install on the new SSD. I get the boot manager when I start up. However, when I enter the new install, I'm...

A friend bought a Dell Precision 6800 Laptop (i5, 8gb RAM no HD/OS) at auction. It turns out that machine was never used! Not a spec of dust inside or...
Thanks for the info. I also never had Win 8. I assume the key would work for Win 10. I imagine the university IT would have upgraded.

Thanks all for the responses.
It's a Dell Precision M6800 i7 first released in 2013. I just checked, I think it came with Win 8. Is that too old to have the license in the BIOS?
