Gary, for what its worth, Microsoft has not left you high and dry. OAM posted a heads-up on this topic previously already, but I cannot find that link. (OAM?)
Microsoft allows you to make a copy of your current "free" W10 installation. Follow this link: https://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/softwar ... /windows10
or: simply search "Win10 ISO."
Download the Microsoft tool and burn yourself an "ISO" DISK for future use. You now have fully working version of your existing W10 OS installation on disk.
I tried the ISO on a spare HDD for a test, INSTALLED IT ON A TOTALLY DIFFERENT MACHINE WITH A TOTALLY DIFFERENT CPU it and it works like a charm. Would recommend everybody make a copy.
Because the ISO is an exact copy of your current installation, it is ALREADY registered, so no subsequent registration is required afterwards with this method.
Thanks OAM for the heads up and thanks Microsoft.
