Changing Windows...

Go to solution Solved by TheKDub,

Maybe try upgrading the desktop to Pro using the key on the macbook?

 

It's not worth it in my opinion to try completely switching the two. If anything just get another Win 10 Pro key. You can get them pretty cheap here: http://reddit.com/r/microsoftsoftwareswap

Probably not worth it. Are those keys from reddit trustworthy?

I've been using the same key between both my laptop and desktop for over two years, so I'd say yes. s5ean has been there a long time, so if you want someone you know you can trust, he'd be your best bet.

Interesting, My friend built a pc and only had a 400 dollar budget so he didn't want to spend 90 bucks on windows, so he is running windows without activating it. I'll have to tell him about it. Thanks
