Im upgrading to a completely new setup and plan on installing windows on an m.2 via a usb with windows 10 recovery media on it.
My question is, am I able to sign in to my microsoft account so it finds my license from my current PC or will I need to rebuy because its being reinstalled on new hardware.
Sidenote: my previous upgrade involved changing motherboard and CPU and windows still booted fine
If the above is true and I do need a product key, can I install my current HDD; boot into windows on that and then install windows on my m.2?
