I want to upgrade an old Toshiba laptop with RAM and an SSD. The laptop has a Windows 8 logo sticker on the bottom but no licence key sticker.
Does that mean the licence is embedded on the motherboard? If I install Windows 10 directly onto the SSD, will it activate ok? Or do I need to install Windows 8 then upgrade?
OEM license is embedded in your device BIOS and will automatically prefill itself and activate later when Windows connects to the internet. No user intervention required.
