JayDee Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 Hello, I recently bought a Lenovo laptop with no operating system. I bought a Windows 10 Home license (v1803), installed it and activated it on my Lenovo. My question is the following. If I perform a clean installation using a bootable usb containing Windows 10 Home (v1903), does my windows activates automatically when connected to the internet or does it ask me to enter the activation code again to activate ? Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sefton22 Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 Updates or fresh installs of Win10 will keep Win10 activated. Only if you change multiple parts of your machine will the OS prompt for reactivation (if it suspects a new build), however, if you have a MS account and log in through Win10, the digital license/ activation will save to your account, log in and it will reactivate. Most motherboards have the Win10 key saved, unless it was specifically bought without a pre-installed OS. Reactivation is likely, but during the update, no user intervention is needed Thanks to Digital Entitlement, Microsoft now gives you a digital license for your Windows 10, as well as other Microsoft software, that you can save to the cloud, linking it to your Microsoft Account, so that whenever you fresh install Windows, the OS will get activated automatically SOURCE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
