hi, i'm planning to upgrade my PC, from AMD athlon 3, to Ryzen. so there will be a lot of part changed/upgraded.

my concern is the current win10 boot drive in old pc, can it simply be swapped to the new PC?

or do i need to note the win10 serial number and then reinstalling on the new PC?

u may swap the win10 boot drive to new pc, win10 will do the job by itself.

u do need win10 product key not the serial number.

i'm not sure OEM or retail, as previously it was a somewhat "legitimate" win 7, which getting a free upgrade to win8 then win10.

if you just upgrade motherboard, cpu and ram. Just leave it and don't do anything. Let the Windows 10 to automatic searching and matching your new motherboard drivers. You just need to get a new Windows 10 license key.

Some people says that your Windows 10 activation is bound by your Microsoft account. However for me, just go to shopee and buy a cheap RM5 Windows 10 activation key then problem solved.

They are genuine if they mention OEM key. Retail key can't be that cheap. If anything, check their review first.

Below are the proof that I bought my Windows 10 and Office 2019 activation keys from the seller in shopee. Keys are working and can be activated either by straight online or by phone if reached online activation limit. You may try your luck to search in Google too. Who knows, the code maybe can found from google too. Last time got a forum called "nsaneforums" and there got an active member called "november_ra1n" keep updating Windows and Office usable license key for us to activate for free. Unfortunately, this person was no longer active and his twitter account being suspended since last year. Since I got experience on activate Microsoft product keys by phone. I have to thanks to that "november_ra1n" since he was tought us the way how to activate a Microsoft Windows and Office keys by phone for just using skype.
