 Yes. That what I thought. Got plenty of spare parts as well should I need them? I have Win 10 on my laptop and use that, with the corresponding key, when installing on my desktop. That works fine and I'm hoping I can install on to the SSD? Thanks for your time..

You're very welcome.

 

You wouldn't be able to use the W10 key from any other PC on the one you just bought from eBay unless it was a retail key and you would no longer be using it on the PC you transferred the key from.

 

If it was an OEM key (you upgraded from W7>W10 with the existing OEM Windows key that came with the PC), it will not activate.
