Hello my new computer parts are about to be here soon and i was wondering if i need to reinstall windows 8 first and then upgrade to 10 like i did with my old one? i have a retail windows 8 license not a OEM so it should be reusable . Can i just install 10 and use my 8 key or install 8 then format then install 10.

P.S. Im upgrading my
M/b,CPU,Gpu

Thanks for the advice.

You are exactly right. But, after that, do a complete wipe of the system and install a fresh copy of Windows 10. It will activate just fine.
