Transferring activation keys

[Kidplayer_666]

So, due to problems with my current Windows 10 install, i will do a new install to correct the problems. How do I transfer the activation key of Windows (note it’s 7 which saw an upgrade) and of adobe elements.

If you have it tied to your Microsoft account then it's pretty easy and you just login with your Microsoft account during the install process and it transfers over no issue.

I did this (with a Windows 7 key which upgraded to Windows 10) and it worked fine.

You likely have to contact Adobe to transfer to key, if you can't do that yourself.

It's not really transfer if you install the same system and programs on the same computer. Just use your keys.

So then how do I see the adobe elements key?

If you ordered it, you should have a key. If not - look at registry.

 

BUT - you should first describe what problems do you have with current installation. I prefer to help with that than helping with pointless reinstalling system.

The hole godly thing is messed up. It’s a family computer filled with bloat ware and has got issues with the graphics card that I wasn’t able to solve. Before giving up completely on it, I’m gonna try a reinstall (probably keep the old one while I transfer files) and started right now with preparing for transferring

(Note it’s not my first time installing an os I have a laptop on which I tried 10 to 20 distros of Linux and different Windows )
