A:AnswerThis isn't home... It's the pro version. You can chose upgrade or fresh install because this is the full version. I recommend to do a fresh install, just incase you have a virus or a corrupt driver.
A:AnswerNo, This is the system builder / OEM version and is intended / can only be used for installing Windows on a new PC. At the time of writing this (11/3/2017) you can still upgrade from Windows 7 to Windows 10 for free through Microsoft.
A:AnswerYes. The product includes a full license for Windows 10, and the media. It does not matter whether or not Windows is already installed on the computer. You can do a new installation of Windows. I purchased this because I had upgraded 32-bit Windows 7 to Windows 10 for free when Windows 10 launched, but I wanted to run 64-bit Windows 10. That requires a new installation of Windows.
A:AnswerYes, you can just use the included product key to authorize Windows 10 Pro on a computer that already has Windows 10 installed by another method.
A:AnswerNo, Windows 10 and 10 Pro could only runs on one computer per key code license at a time. The key code and copy right protection is the highest compared with past Windows. Past Windows allowed two computers, a laptop and desktop or a main computer and backup computer. Not with Windows 10 and 10 Pro, because the newest Windows 10 and 10 Pro will only operate on one computer per key code for complete installation.
A:AnswerI rebuilt my computer changing motherboards. I used this official version to reactivate Windows 10 Pro. I tried several cheaper on-line dealers using "education" licenses. All these licenses had been previously used and did not work. Stay with the official dealers and versions. In the box is a DVD and the license number. If you deactivate this version on the Microsoft site you can the re-activate it on another computer.
A:AnswerYou will need to use cloning software. The process will duplicate everything on the source drive to the destination drive. If you have done this before, then you will know what to expect and what to do, if there are issues. But if you haven't, this process isn't for the faint of heart. It can be a smooth process, but it can also be riddled with problems. It's best to have this done by an experienced person.
A:AnswerIts a OEM version. However it is a full version of the software. OEM means you cannot seek help from Microsoft. The OEM version requires the installer to provide support to the end user.
A:AnswerI would look at the cost both ways as well as the time involved in shipping back and forth. I'm pretty sure you know this for yourself now, but I always make sure what the OS is when I'm buying a new system. One word of advice if you purchase Pro upgrade, make sure it's not OEM. I went that route once, it's cheaper. But when I had to replace the motherboard (I think that's what it was), I had to buy another copy of Windows. You can only do a single install with the OEM version.
A:AnswerShort answer is no. The installation requires input directly on the computer when it initially begins to load the new os, which would happen before any remote sessions could occur.
A:AnswerAdditional licenses will need to be purchased individually, but regardless of the installation media that comes in the package (CD/DVD/USB Drive), I would recommend you NOT use it and instead download the Windows 10 installation software directly from Microsoft using their Windows 10 "Media Creation Tool" at https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10
The biggest advantage is that the installation software you download from Microsoft will be relatively current with the latest drivers, updates, and security patches, whereas the installation software that's pre-packaged on CD/DVD/USB Drive is often horribly outdated. What you're really purchasing when you buy this item is the PRODUCT KEY, which you will need in order to activate your Windows 10 software whether you installed it from the included CD or downloaded it from Microsoft using the Media Creation Tool. The Product Key from this item will work to activate one copy of Windows 10 regardless of what method or media you used to install it.
With all that being said, and recognizing that what you really need are Windows 10 Product Keys, not the software itself (since you can download it directly from Microsoft), in your case I would recommend buying the upgrade version of Windows 10 and using the product keys from those. The reason is that the upgrade version of Windows 10 is substantially cheaper (typically $99, I believe), and the product keys will work equally well to activate the installation software you download from Microsoft. For your two PCs and a laptop, you're probably looking at about $300 to upgrade all three to Windows 10 (one $99 Windows 10 Pro Upgrade license for each).
Hope that helps!
A:AnswerYou get Outlook as part of the Mail program on Windows 10 and WordPad as a document creator. Word and Excel are part of Office 365 and not Windows 10.
