Windows 10: reinstall Win 10 in new HW

What is the procedure to reinstall my Win 10 Pro license to a new PC and upgrade to Win 11 ProMy old PC hardware failed and was also not up-gradable to WIN 11 PRO

:)

 

Are these the correct steps to reinstall Win10 after a full HW upgrade?

Hi,

I guess my to do list is fine then. When I briefly had Win10 back in 2016, I didn't have a Microsoft account, so I guess it linked the license to my HW back then. So if I now reinstall it on the current HW, I can link the digital license to my MS account,
which I will be able to use again after the HW change. And I'd like to do clean reinstall on the new HW, just to be sure that it will continue working without any glitches. Maybe I could do the formatting after the new rig is up, as Win10 should still work
better or worse, after the whole HW was swapped under it.

Thanks so far.

Hi Rodolpho,

We want to know about the issue you're having with your recovery drive. Please answer the questions below:

• Are you trying to reinstall Windows 8 or Windows 10?
• If you already upgraded to Windows 10, were you able to create a new copy of the recovery drive?

We suggest creating a new copy of the recovery drive and then follow the steps provided by Andre Da Costa above this thread.

Update us with the outcome so we can assist you further.

 

Windows Updated(16299.309).KB4088776 Restart is required to complete.

Hi dalchina. Good news, I followed your suggestion and reinstalled the update and now it appears as "installed correctly" *Biggrin Maybe it was not necessary to run the Windows Update Troubleshooter or maybe if necessary. But using it I do not think it could have worsened something. The installation was very fast, unlike the first time it showed step 1 and step 2 completed.

Thanks for the suggestions and for the time to respond Best regards.


And thanks for the tip of that program, I'll have it on my list.
