Reclaiming old HP/Vista/Win 10
Several months ago a friend told me she was getting a new desktop machine since the old Vista machine was sick beyond repair. She asked if I would I like the old box. I agree and planned to use this as a Linux/Mint platform.
When I powered up, I found Win 10 Home, four months behind on updates, and no other problems. So I started updating. Now I need the password (didn't need it until now), to login after the update.
So, even if my friend can find the password, is there a way I could transfer the OS to my Microsoft account?
The old Vista registration code is on the original sticker affixed to the computer. Can I use that code to transfer to my MS account?
