ok so i bought a new machine. i had windows 8 pro which became 10 pro about 4 months ago. im not getting any straight forward answer for moving m os accross. its currently on a ssd which i want it to remain on but as a fresh install to accomodate new hardware. can this be done? should i roll back to windows 8 to do this? if i can do it should i remove my key in order to move it? (ive typed in the command and my activation or product id dont show up). my os was originally a retail copy
more detail....current machine is asus motherboard with amd quad core.
new machine is a gigbyte motherboard. amd fx8350.
my new machine doesnt have a solid state...ideally what i want to do is wipe my ssd...put it in new machine and reinstall windows with new hardware.
it seems a bit of a cheat that microsoft would tie your license to current hardware
