I have windows 10 linked to my MS account and understand that when I get a new PC/make significant upgrades I can re-install it using the activation troubleshooter. But how do I boot up windows to begin with? I have the usb that it came with. Do I insert that upon boot-up and it will run windows 10 and then from there i can go to Activation and re-activate Win10??
Thanks
Something that should be understood clearly...........
You have Computer A running Windows 10. If it is activated, then it has a digital license saved in the server. *** That digital license ONLY applies to Computer A.
It is NOT transferrable.
If you get a new PC and if it is running an activated Windows 10, this new PC will have its own digital license which is, again, not transferrable.
*** Digital License entitles user to reinstall the SAME Windows 10 Edition into the SAME computer any time one wants to and as often as one wants to.
Activation is automatic because the server will recognize the digital license of that computer and thus proceed with
automatic activation. You don't need to manually activate it at all.
That put aside, what do you mean by "But how do I boot up windows " ?
Isn't you new PC come with Windows 10 ?
