Hi Engeli07
What are your plans? Are you upgrading?
From Windows 7?
Basically, you can install the operating system over the old one, then the data would still be there. However, it is better to have a backup. One wrong click during installation and everything would be lost 😅
Does this help you? Otherwise, please contact me again and I will be happy to help you.
64 bit, there are no longer any new computers to buy that have 32 bit processors. Also, only with a 64-bit operating system can more than 4 GB of RAM be used.
Theoretically, no. Practically, make a backup. Installed programmes must be reinstalled. Look at Microsoft or Google. There is enough information on this.
You can install Windows with the Media Creation Tool and then activate it with the serial numbers you receive.
During the installation, you only have to make sure that you select the Windows Home version.
Usually the licence is noted in the cover (scratch-off à la scratch card). So I guess not.
Also look at the other questions, e.g. this one: https://www.digitec.ch/de...
OEM is a normal version of Windows that is bound to a PC after you install it. If you uninstall it you can install it on another PC. You don't need the OEM Builder stuff, just insert (CD) and install, the OEM stuff just provides some functions for the PC Builder to install the Windows in advance and without a serial number.

You will receive the licence key for Windows 10. You do not need a CD drive. You can download Windows 10 from the Internet at Microsoft. You can, for example, create a bootable USB stick and start your self-made PC from it and install the OS.
I advise you to keep your hands off dubious licence offers between 10-40 CHF. These are often not legal.
This only means that the licence does not expire. There are, for example, licences with which you can use software for 5 years and then you would have to have the licence extended or buy a new one. This is not the case with this Windows licence, i.e. you can use the software as long as you want without having to extend anything.
Yes, but it is not completely automatic. You have to enter a few things during the installation, such as keyboard layout or on which hard disk you want to install it.
That depends on your mainboard. Windows would already support it. Otherwise, just check the specifications of the mainboard (max. RAM).
Tip: Buying an OEM key is around 90 euros cheaper. You can find them on various sites on the net. It works exactly the same when you activate it.
