you should be able to do a clean install of windows 10 and it should be activated

Hi Compton,
wow that is handy but please could you explain the mechanics behind it all because I'm confused

It must be the embedded code that is registered on the all knowing Microsoft server and then the trail of updates linked to the bios key in it's original form knows hey this is allowed to install and be activated with Windows 10

Thank you Compton again great advice and for taking time out to assist

I hope others have taken something from this as well

regards
