Installed Windows 10 Professional from bootable USB. Followed the steps in the guide @SpyderTracks posted. Windows 10 officially activated. Yay! Seems obvious now, but I had long forgotten (or never known at all) that my old PC had Professional and not Home. In any case looks like I had to...

My Windows 10 is up to date. I can run the check and it says I'm up to date.

OK. My new computer is off. On my old PC I have done the following: Checked my license using the command slmgr /dli - it says RETAIL. Signed in with my Microsoft Account via the Activation page in Windows Settings. Both devices appear in my Microsoft Account Devices: DoctorFianchetto is...

Makes sense - how would I go about fully decomissioning it? Seems to be more to the process than just turning my old machine off. Would I have to remove Windows completely?

It's not switched on right now, but I have been using it during the transition.

Hello, I am having trouble activating the Windows 10 installation on my new PC. On my previous computer I have a digital license originally obtained from a Windows 7 upgrade. On my new PC I have signed into the same Microsoft Account and I am unable to activate. When I enter the activation...

I've had a think about my build and I've decided I want to settle for a 1080p build with the 5600XT. If the 5600XT is overkill for my current monitor, which monitor would you recommend instead? I notice the COOLERMASTER MASTERCASE H500M GAMING CASE is available, should I opt for that despite...

Drives 1TB is overkill for a games drive for me. I know that modern games can be pretty hefty, but I don't keep many games installed at any one time. I reckon 500GB M2 drive for Windows + games + some storage, then my current hard drive (3TB) for mass storage. I'll also get the 2TB hard drive as...

Thanks for the responses, much appreciated! Scott, I'll respond to you in more detail later, don't have much time at the minute. For now I'll just share my budget of £2000. The quote I had was a little over £1000, so I don't think I'd approach £2000. My monitor is...

Sorry to bump, but not received a response yet.
