Upgrading system with the 'free' Windows 10 ?

Scougar · 16 Mar 2017 at 14:47

So I have the 'free' version of windows 10 on my machine (not-pirate I mean the upgrade was free, I didn't need to pay for it). Now that the free upgrade has all expired, I am wanting to upgrade my PC to a Ryzen system.

Will I have to pay out for Windows 10, or can I swap my MB, CPU and RAM and reactivate Windows 10?

Awesome. So I gave up my license for Windy's 10 and now I have to buy another for a new system... Ffs

I transferred my windows 7 and 8 license a few times before I upgraded to 10.

Your Win10 key can be linked to your email login. So just build the new PC, stick the USB in, click past entering the key (it specifically tells you to do this) then just enter your email.

It's what I did less than a month ago with no hassle. Does nobody know this?

Awesome. Thank you so much PapaLazaru. I would prefer to do it all legitimately.

Thanks for the other method as well folks ☺
