    PCSPECIALIST Windows 10 Install

    Thanks thats excellent advice. So would it make sense to download it now to a usb stick for instance? Also when you say 'clean install' is that an option when using the Media Creation Tool or is that a distinct process I should follow?

On that basis I decided that I would wait for the 3060ti as even the...

    PCSPECIALIST Content creator looking for entry-level all rounder

    Is there an easy way to see if the license is transerrable? I thought that an OEM license wasnt available to transfer - does the fact it was upgraded to the current Windows 10 mean its possible? Id welcome some views on this.
