New computer: transfer license
My antique pc died today and I'm now working on a new HP Pavilion which came with Win 10 Home. I have a recent iso DVD of Win 10 Pro and plan on installing it. How can I transfer my license?

Do you have a 10 Pro key?
If not, were you running version 1607 or later and logging in with MS account.
Do you still have old hdd - you may be able to extract 10 Pro key from it?
Old hdd says need formatting, so I think it's dead. I think I do have a product key somewhere; I'll look for it.
Found a key. But it's from 8/15 and may be superseded. Won't know until I try.
Product keys don't expire with time. They do get blocked from overuse, though.
