Thanks for the info; it's a Surface and I have a cheap Windows 10 key ready to go. I read somewhere that you can retrieve the key from the bios as many of these systems have an embedded key when sold. The company will then image them with a standard Enterprise image and give them to the employees. The logon and domain passwords are the same for the user. I saw something about creating a new user and running a command which allowed copying the files to the new user. Unfortunately, files stored on the domain OneDrive are no longer accessible and the Office apps are warning that they will no longer work.

I figured that it would be a copy, format, fresh install. Was hoping there was some secret way to do this and save some time. It will probably go pretty fast as it's an SSD instead of HDD; now I just need a flash drive to download the image to and make bootable. Yeah, I thought of starting with 11 however the system came with 10 and I'm unsure if the 10 key will work with 11.

Thanks again for the info. I guess we will see if it automatically activates.
