What version of Windows are you running now?


/e If it's a Pro version (or better)...you won't even need to spend the six bux.


/ee If you wanna keep w/e version you have now on your other comp...then spend the six bux.

If not...then AIDA64 can tell you the Windows CD key, and you can use that to get Win 10. IMO get Win 10 Pro, you will have more control over the OS.
If the version of Windows you have now...is Pro....the it's CD key will get You Win 10 Pro...for free.

10 pro but it was from the free upgrade from win 7. i no longer have my old win 7 dvd.

Well if you no longer need Win 10 Pro on the other comp...you can still use it's CD Key.

AIDA 64 can get the CD key...even from Windows 10.


/e You will still only be able to use that CD key on ONE computer at a time though.

wait explain this more

i have win 10 pro now. it was from the free upgrade offer since i had win 7 pro on my comp.

can i use this same key for a new mobo? make a bootable usb off the version i have? that would be sweet

Yes.

Last piece showed up today. This is really a refresh of the current comp, not a full build since i am reusing parts that i already have.

final comp will be:

Core i7 7700k cpu
Asus Maximus IX Hero motherboard
Corsair H100iv2
Samsung 960 evo m.2 nvme drive for OS and Games
G Skill Ripjaws 16gbx2 3200 speed
WD Black 6tb 7200rpm 128mb cache as movie/tv show/media drive
Evga Gtx 1080ti SC Black edition card
Corsair 500r mid atx case
Seasonic X-850 fully modular power supply unit
Windows 10 Pro
Dell 2716 27'' 2560x1440 144hz g-sync monior
logitech g710+ keyboard
razer deathadder chroma mouse
4x ml 120 pwm fans
scythe kaze master fan controller
LG Blu ray burner drive

i play bf1, bf4, gta5, so i'm thinking this will be a good build for that. will assemble tomorrow after work and snap a few pics once built.

thanks bros for the support, esp for the aida64 goodies(ghot)
