bobd Posted October 8, 2015 Posted October 8, 2015 I decided to go with Win10. I want to fresh install it on a new HDD. I have Win7 64 now, & saved the Win10 ISO. I don't know what to expect when I try a boot to the ISO. Will it ask what bit? or want the registration # for my Win7 OME disk? Appreciate some help, please keep it simple, I have no geek blood.

txmtb Posted October 8, 2015 Posted October 8, 2015 Last I had heard, it's best to do the upgrade first, which will validate your Win 7 and activate the new windows 10. Then you can go back and do a clean install. Since you activate Win 10, it will have no issues activating again.I would install your new HD before doing the upgrade so it doesn't see a hardware change though.

If I understand correctly, I can upgrade on my old hdd, then put in the new hdd, & install win10 on it. :unsure: If it was me, I would put the new HDD in first, then do the upgrade on the old Win 7, get Win 10 activated, then do the clean install on the new hdd.

Revelation Posted October 10, 2015 Posted October 10, 2015 Thanks txmtb. If I understand correctly, I can upgrade on my old hdd, then put in the new hdd, & install win10 on it. :unsure: Yes as long as your current motherboard is a UEFI board. The Win10 serial is stored in your UEFI bios. Yes if you change your motherboard, you will have to contact MS customer support to get Win10 activated at a later date.
