Hi,
I'm hoping to get some help with my hardware situation.
My old machine of almost 10 years recently broke down as the USB power regulator decided to burn out. I didn't have any working USB ports but I could boot up. This machine was built by me using a copy of Win 7 Professional. I have made minor hardware changes over the years. I also upgraded from Win7 to Win 8.1 and then to Win 10.
My concern now is that I have decided to build a new machine again from scratch. I would like to install Win 10 directly and use my Win 7 activation code to then activate the Win 10 copy on my new machine.
How do I obtain a copy of Win 10 to activate? How can I install Win 10 via USB? Am I allowed to use my Win 7 activation code to run on my new machine?
If someone can point me to some guides or instructions that would be great.
Thank you for your help
