I bought a reconditioned Dell desktop for my Dad (that he desperately needs!) and it comes with Win 10 Pro on a Kingston 256 SSD. He wants his new Dell computer to have his Win8 and all his programs/passwords/files from his old computer to be there. So I plan on cloning his old computer's hard drive to the new computer's SSD. Of course this will format and wipe the new computer's SSD and the copy of Win 10 on it.
Yikes!
I paid for that copy of Win 10 and I'd like to use it on my next build,which will be soon,I hope.
Ideally, I would like to just get the product code from the new Dell computer and download Win10 when I am ready for it on my next build. But I have a feeling this could be a problem. It is probably an OEM version of Win 10 Pro and tied to Dad's new Dell computer (well reconditioned,but new to him).
I would really hate to lose a copy of Win10 that is bought and paid for and have to re-buy another copy.
Thanks for any replies!
