Questions regarding Widows 10 for my new build. To be used as a video editing rig, not gaming.
Windows 10 Home or Pro? Advatages/disadvatages?
I currently run Win 7Pro and have an OEM key. I've heard it said that I can download Win 10 from Microsoft and upgrade for free. Is it still possible to upgrade to Win 10 for free from Win 7Pro? How do I do that with my old license key?
Since my Win 7Pro OS is currently linked to my old motherboard [I have purchased and will use a new mobo] is it "dangerous" to try and re-assign my current OS to my new mobo before upgrading to Win10? Is there a history of problems when switching to a new mobo? I am concerned Microsoft won't recognize my license or something when trying to switch & upgrade and then I'll be stuck in limbo with no PC. If it is a problem then I'd be forced to buy a new Win 10 key.
If using old Win 7Pro key is successful in upgrading to Win 10 are there any potential problems in having a Win 7 license key instead of a Win 10 license key should there be technical difficulties up the road with my Win 10 OS?
