New build reusing Win10 Question

Open | Windows

I am ready to upgrade my hardware this week but this time reusing Win10 rather going to WIn11. Some sites say I need to unregister Win10 on my current build and reactivate on new system. I am upgrading mostly everything except my case. Normally I am upgrading OS along with hardware.

No need just activate it and when it's says you need to validate you can use the phone option and say it's only in use on one PC in the options.
But most likely it just works.

Can also hook it to your outlook / hotmail account and log in and you are activated (or can select the code cannot remember)

My office is linked to my hotmail but how do I link my windows? I mean I can google that.

Actually it looks like it already linked.

Making changes to your system BIOS settings or disk setup can cause you to lose data. Always test your data backups before making changes to your PC.
