So essentially that's my question. I'm going to replace my old Intel based pc to a And ryzen 3600 with msi tomahawk max, plus ram. Will my current Windows 10 not activate. And how can I tell my current Windows 10 key.

Thank you for the help guys. I did buy the OS a long time ago. I upgraded my the 8.1 too windows 10 when they were offering it for £15 I believe. Ive since done fresh installs using downloaded images of win 10 and been fine. Im gonna try find out what my current key is though.

Before upgrading link your current Windows 10 activation to your Microsoft account.

Mine already says its already activated to a digital licence to my MS account. So will I be ok?
