Hey I currently have a laptop with a licensed version of Windows 10 that came with my laptop when I purchased it 4 years ago. I keep on getting the blue screen error where it shows a ":(" with some text saying Windows ran into a problem and needs to restart and a QR code. This has happened perhaps 5 times within the last 2 or 3 days. I want to test if it is an OS issue or hardware issue by reinstalling a fresh instance of Windows 10 and if the issue persists, I think that will be indicative of where my issue lies. I heard that my product license key is stored within the motherboard so I don't need it to activate a fresh copy of Windows 10 when I am installing onto the same laptop using a flashdrive? Are there any risks not related to data loss?
