Windows 8 and windows 10 dual boot.
I have windows 8 on an internal hard disk, the laptop has secure boot
disabled. I have an evaluation copy of windows 10 installed on an external usb disk. When I boot into windows 10 the product key is flagged as invalid, it has been changed to the windows 8 one. I can of course re-enter the correct one but do not want to have to do this every time, any help appreciated. MJP |

I know us old retired IT guys are gluttons for punishment and thrive on adversity, but I drew the line on this argument. My position has always been CP, not MP, but others will disagree, if for nothing else than grins 'n' giggles LOL :-) -- SC Tom |
