Can someone tell me the actual answer please?

I got this laptop which came with windows 7/8 i think (Cant remember) and i upgraded it to windows 10 home.  Will i be able to transfer the OS from this laptop to a new computer by USB???

as far as i know, you cant. you will only be able to create a bootable usb drive from ur win10 laptop. so u still have to buy a valid product key from somewhere. Now based on you only put 25 on it, i assume where to buy it.

I watched a video saying you can buy an OEM version on kinguin, i can either buy windows 10 home for £21.59 or windows 10 professional for £23.39 .  Which should i choose and also, do you know if this is legit and is there a downside to it?

Thank you

I bought it there too and tats 1yr ago, so you are gd to go. home is enough, but they are not in stock all the time, so either is fine, just whichever is cheaper and in stock.

 

No, you still need to do a bootable usb drive from your laptop, which includes the download. the seller only give you a valid product key, which is required for activation of ur windows. just do the install first and activate it later, i think its safer from being spotted this way.

 

for where to get the bootable usb drive heres a link:

This is the closest I could get you to 550£ (included IPS monitor with speakers). You Don’t Need a Product Key to Install and Use Windows 10

Hi

I was just watching a video about the i3- 6100 and it said that having faster memory ram would be a great choice for the cpu. Would it be better if i was to get an 2 x 4gb Memory, and if i was, what would you recommend?

thanks
