Hello.
I got a Lenovo laptop that came with Win 10 10240 pre-installed. The product key is probably stored somewhere in the ROM (Isn't that the case with most modern laptops?). The OS drive is like 900 GB and the other drive is around 30.
So here's the question. What if my get an ISO image of Win 10 10240 from MS and reinstall Windows completely sizing the partitions how I like? I would like the OS partition around a 100GB and another partition with the most I can get out of my 1TB HDD. If I do install Win 10 from an external flash drive and size the partitions how I want, will Windows automatically detect the product key and activate itself?
The OEM Recovery drive will probably be wiped out, so can I still use the Windows reset feature to get it to the state that I made when fresh installing Win?
