I am finally upgrading my first (and only) PC that I built around 5 years ago. I closely followed a guide while doing it, so I'm not super familiar with the process. With that build I used a Windows 7 OEM install, and later when windows 10 came out, I did the free upgrade.
I have read other threads that stated that I should be able to transfer the Windows 10 OS to the new build using my Microsoft account. But since I plan on using the same HDD for now, will that affect the process? Would I need to format my HDD? Or should I just buy a new HDD?
Thanks.
