[QUOTE="rsaeon, post: 2475101, member: 76792"] If you're okay with linking your activation with a microsoft account: [URL unfurl="true"]https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/reactivating-windows-after-a-hardware-change-2c0e962a-f04c-145b-6ead-fb3fc72b6665#ID0EBD=Windows_10[/URL] If you want to do what I did, which is just put the existing drive into a new computer then you need to activate through phone: [URL unfurl="true"]https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/product-activation-for-windows-online-support-telephone-numbers-35f6a805-1259-88b4-f5e9-b52cccef91a0[/URL] Once activated, you can remove that drive and do a fresh install on a different drive without a key and windows will be activated based on digital signatures of the hardware you had when you activated by phone. Some say you can transfer an OEM key through phone activation up to three times before it stops working, but I never needed to do this more once. My preferred way of activating windows is to use a Windows 7 key to activate Windows 10 or 11. You can literally find Windows 7 keys in scrap piles of branded desktops near used computer dealers. Or just use one of these: [URL]https://www.bing.com/images/search?q=windows+7+key+sticker&first=1[/URL] [/QUOTE]
