Windows 10 installing new motherboard

So I've updated to windows 10 easily and smoothly, but after only a day degraded to win7 due to trouble with networkadapters. I really liked windows 10 However and thought that's what I use on my new build, but of course I didn't for an OS completely new with material because that would be too simple to remember :)

So, I read a few posts like:

https://www.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/Windows-10-upgrade

https://www.Microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/Windows10

and if I understand it, I could get the activation of win10 even on my new motherboard with the help of the usb disk or a CompactDisc.

Is it possible to make something like this, or do I have to spend a few more dough for the mobo?

Edit: I have a valid product key

I don't know if my question is in the subject of law.

You must create first recovery after upgraded media to Windows 10 on your existing system.  Right click on the Windows Logo on the taskbar, select Control Panel.  Then go to "all elements of control panel"->"recovery" and click on "create a recovery drive.  Then follow the prompts.  Adjust according to paragraph 4(b) of the LICENCE Windows 10 agreement, you can restore the operating system on the system after replacing the motherboard and processor.

Note: You must have at least a 4GB flash drive inserted before clicking 'create a recovery drive.  And make sure you don't need anything on the flash button because it will be completely removed.

PS: I did not myself, but according to the EULA, it is permitted, as long as Windows is removed from the old system, to transfer a purchased retail installation from one computer to another.  Someone let me know if I'm somehow wrong interpretation of this section of the EULA Windows 10 which is presented during the upgrade and also available on the system properties page in the file Explorer.

  • How to install windows to a new motherboard without Windows CD?

    I think that not many people were in my situation here. I will soon get a new motherboard, but the problem is that I don't have my CD. I wrote my key product some time ago so I have that but is there a way for me to get my Win8 back using my product key, but without first using my CD?

    You need the CD, no way around that. But if the cd has been lost, get a

    the mfg replacement, it should be free... If it is a copy of the retail of 8, then

    Microsoft would have done the same thing... If the OS is on a partition of the HD, the HD you

    always have & will use the new MB, then all is lost, unless the same MB correct

    is ordered, then purchase new windows operating system cd.

  • Can I reactivate my OEM of windows on a new motherboard so my old a broken?

    Hey all,.

    I know this has probably been asked before, but I can't find the answer anywhere. Recently, I built my first PC and bought a copy of windows 7 OEM. After the first day that I discovered that my motherboard was faulty and is not working properly. I'll send the motherboard for a replacement, but I understand that an OEM license is only allowed for a motherboard. Really, I don't want to have to pay a new license as I just activated my first on a couple of days, and I have to change because of a broken mobo that wasn't my fault and had to be changed.
    Thanks much for any help.
    Thomas.

    It shouldn't really matter in your case. The bottom line, it's your new motherboard was faulty.

    Was it a real or a third party battery?

    What was the initial question that lead to the replacement of the motherboard?

    The replacement motherboard came with a guarantee?  To be honest, it sounds like a problem with the motherboard because it was not present before the change of motherboard.

  • Activation of Windows 8 after new motherboard

    I just finished a material change in my computer, including the replacement of the motherboard. Windows works fine but asks to be reactivated, as I expected. Here's the question: I am under Windows 8 Pro with Media Center (update on the internet from Windows 7, use Windows 8 Media Center Pack free key provided by Microsoft). I pressed the button "Activate now" Windows fortunately provided me, and he told me that my key was blocked. So I checked what key he tried to use, which proved to be the Media center activation key. So I tried manually enter my product key Windows 8 Pro, to be told that she would not work with this edition of Windows. I tried to activate on the automated phone system and said again the activation failed.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Additional information: do you have a system refresh just before changing the material, has done with a recovery USB drive created on a Microsoft Surface Pro, the only side effect I noticed is the logo of Surface on the system information screen. Don't know if that will affect activation.

    Windows 7 is a full commercial version. In this case, is the only option for re - install Windows 7, and then re-update to Windows 8?

    That is right.

    place a screen came up saying I had to re-activate my XP Pro.  Thirdly, I bought this computer custom made

    Use Magical Jellybean Keyfinder to get your product key and then activate in the usual way.

  • BSOD when trying to install Win7 64 bit with the new motherboard

    Hi all

    I have the following BSOD problem:
    I installed a new motherboard in my system (a MSI P43 C51). Before that, I got a Gigabyte G41MT-S2P. The rest of the configuration is: Q9650, Thermaltake truespirit 90 cooler, 2 x 4 GB DDR3 1333, GTX 470, 750W PSU, case name, SATA HDD 500 GB, Windows 7 64 bit.

    Well, the problem started when I tried to boot into windows with the new motherboard: I got BSOD 1 second after windows starts loading. I thought... new motherboard, install new windows, so I tried to install windows 7 64 bit DVD and USB stick, I get the STOP: 0x0000000A error during installation. I changed the HARD drive, thinking that it could be a bad sector problem, but no, the other hard drive behaved exactly the same thing. I got BSOD at 40% extraction, extraction of 90% and for the moment "Complete the installation..." ». I also tried to install with the stick of memory only one, spent between ports, everything. The material I have works, as I played on my PC every day in the last month and received no. BSOD, also had a small overclock the CPU and the GPU (100 MHz on the processor, that the old motherboard supported more than 343 fsb and about 100 MHz on the GPU). It was stable, no errors, no nothing.

    My thoughts are only, after asking some knowledge that work in computer support, it could be a problem of version of the BIOS (BIOS is 2005..) and the fact that my Win 7 installation kit is without Service Pack 1 (a colleague told me that he had this problem for the PC more than once and after trying to install SP1 It went smoothly and without errors)

    I just got a new "blank" DVD of Win 7 64 bit with SP1. What I'll try today is to Flash the bios with the latest version and install the OS on a HARD drive new, sealed. He could not be my system components, because they are compatible and they worked 1 day before with no problems! I have literally NO IDEA what could be the problem. Today, I'll try the installation of the new DVD and with the new version of the BIOS. If this does not work, I have no idea what I can do... It is a sucky situation.

    If you have any suggestions, please, don't keep it to yourself :-D

    Thank you!

    ==============================================

    References to Vista also apply to Windows 7.

    Drivers could be at fault, however the problems of disk or security/antivirus/antispyware products are
    just as likely to be the root cause that they can force a driver to corrupt or go out of bounds.
    The video driver or something affecting it would be questionable.

    At the end of this message, I'll post a bluescreen generic and in the next convenience store
    How do to update the drivers and BIOS but also to check memory message.

    -----------------------------------

    BCCode: 0a 0x0000000A

    Cause

    This bug check is issued if the memory paged (or invalid) is accessible when the IRQL is too high.

    The error that usually generates this bug check occurs after the installation of the faulty device driver or service system, BIOS.

    If you encounter a bug 0xA control during the upgrade to a later version of Windows, this error can be caused by a device driver, system service, an anti-virus or a backup tool that is not compatible with the new version.

    Solve the problem

    If a kernel debugger is available, get a stack trace.

    To resolve an error caused by the faulty device driver or service system, BIOS

    1. Restart your computer.
    2. Press F8 to character-based menu that displays the choice of operating system.
    3. In the WindowsAdvanced Options menu, select last known good Configuration . This option is most effective when a pilot or a service is added at a time.

    To resolve an error caused by an incompatible device driver, system service, virus scanner, or backup tool

    1. Check the system log in Event Viewer for error messages that may identify the device or driver that caused the error.
    2. Try disabling the cache in memory of the BIOS.
    3. Run the diagnostics of equipment provided by the manufacturer of the system, in particular the scanner memory. For more information about these procedures, see the manual of your computer.
    4. Make sure that the latest Service Pack is installed.
    5. If your system has cards (SCSI) small computer system interface, contact the card manufacturer for updated Windows drivers. Try to disable sync negotiation in the SCSI BIOS, check the wiring and the SCSI ID of each device and confirming the proper termination.
    6. For devices (IDE) peripheral electronic integrated, set the built-in as only primary IDE port. Also, check each IDE device to the right setting master/slave/stand alone. Try to remove all IDE devices except for the hard drives.

    If the message appears during installation of Windows, make sure that the computer and installed devices are listed in the list of the products tested Microsoft Windows market.

    Comments

    Before upgrading to a new version of Windows, remove all third-party device drivers and system services and disable any antivirus. Contact software manufacturers for updates of these third-party tools.

    Your problem is probably because you have a preinstalled Windows - an OEM copy - copy and these licenses CANNOT be transferred to the new motherboards or new computers, except in conditions of warranty.

    Activatin is using the product key - which consists of 5 blocks of 5 characters each.

    The ID of the product that is referenced in the Sytem Propertyies page, will show if you have a key OEM - the second group of characters will be OEM, if so.
