I am planning on building a computer soon, and I was thinking that I might be able to activate windows 10 using a windows 8 product key from a samsung aio pc that no longer works. Will this work or will I have to purchase one?
No harm in trying, but I would not expect it to work as it's an OEM version of Windows 8 which, per the license agreement, cannot be transferred to another system.
If it doesn't work, there's no harm in running Windows 10 without activation.
