Hello
I am wanting to move my hard drive with win 10 home retail to a new machine . Is there a way to do that or do i have to buy yet another copy of windows 10 ?
Thanks for any info in advance.
If i decide that i want to uninstall windows 8 from my computer, can i then install it on another using the same product key that i used on the first or is it once used you cannot recover your product key?
Hi, all! Searched around for a definitive answer on this, mostly just finding "yeah, give it a shot" as the result.
I have a Win8 laptop (not Win8.1) that I will be selling. How do I go about de-licensing that installation so I can use it on a new laptop that I've just received?
Thanks...
