Hello,
I have a question : after the free upgrade period expires, how do I reinstall Windows 10 if I have it installed now?
For instance, I want to reinstall it to do a Clean Up of my computer, or I am upgrading/migrating to another system (hardware) etc.
You will have a digital entitlement and will be able to reinstall Windows 10 on the same hardware without the need for a product key.
And if I will upgrade my system ? (i.e. changing Hard disk)
Hard disk should be fine, I'd imagine you will run into problems if the motherboard is changed though, just like you would with a Windows 7/8 OEM licence.
Hello Snukye, and welcome to windowssh blog.
In addition:
If you link the Windows 10 digital license for the PC to your Microsoft account, then you'll be able to use the Activation Troubleshooter to activate the same PC if you should change the motherboard in the future.
Microsoft Account - Link to Digital License on Windows 10 PC
Activation Troubleshooter - Use in Windows 10
That is what I was looking for!
Thank you, guys!
Glad we could help.
Can you link multiple computers if you have more than one Win 10 machine?If you link the Windows 10 digital license for the PC to your Microsoft account, then you'll be able to use the Activation Troubleshooter to activate the same PC if you should change the motherboard in the future.
Yes, but each PC will need to be activated by a different license to be able to link them to your MSA (Microsoft account).Can you link multiple computers if you have more than one Win 10 machine?
Thanks for the quick reply, but I am a little confused. If you have several Win 10 computers, don't each of them have to be activated by separate licenses? I think I am not understanding something.Yes, but each PC will need to be activated by a different license to be able to link them to your MSA (Microsoft account).
