Hi All

I'm about to replace mono, CPU, hdd and ram on my sons PC but do not k ow for sure which of the three copies of Windows is on the machine? It currently runs. Win 10 but I have a copy of win 7, win 8 and win 10 to choose from. Unfortunately I need to guess the right one as the other two PCs are running the other two copies of. Windows.

Many thanks
Peter

If its Windows 10 click start button, settings, then scroll down to About.
It will tell you on the bottom of that page what version Windows 10 you have.

Sign windows in with a Microsoft account, then after you change the hardware, select troubleshooting under activation to reactivate windows, you can then reinstall 10 if you wish and it will have digital licence entitlement tied to the Microsoft account.
