Can I use the same key?
Hello everyone,
I want to clean up my SSD. To do this, I'm going to install Windows on a USB stick. Since I don't want to buy Windows again, my question is: Can I use the same key again, or do I have to follow certain steps to reinstall Windows without the key?
You won't.
You can create an installation medium on a USB stick, but you can't install Windows on a USB stick. (at least not without tricks and associated with the deletion of your license!) The latter went with Windows2Go, which is only available in the Enterprise and Education version, but is not available in the Home or Professional variant.
Yes, I thought it was clear to install. Of course, I will have to reinstall it on my SSD. But is there a way that I can use Windows (without demo) again after deleting without buying a key again?
In many cases, the activated Windows is linked to the Microsoft account, during installation you press to I have no key.
After installation you will not be asked
Yes, you can reuse your key when you install it on the same device.
Microsoft allows various hardware changes, but it can be if you exchange CPU and motherboard that the key is rejected first. This can be easily explained by contacting Microsoft Support. I had to do it again – was then an easy hardware upgrade from the board and CPU due to a board defect. Was enabled within 15 minutes after calling the number displayed on the screen.
The key is registered if it does not work, type on I have no key.
Activation goes automatically.
You don't need a new one.
If you need a live USB distribution to work on Windows, you can watch various Linux derivatives. I'll throw Ubuntu in the room. Goes quite simple and crisp
Linux people always get it so horny to steer the topic on Linux no matter how little it was…Questioner just wants to reinstall Windows and know if he can use the key again, what should ubuntu bring here.
