Windows 10: How to transfer Windows 10 from old laptop to new PC?

Hi,



I recently build a new PC and I would like to activate windows on it, by transferring the product key from an old laptop.

The old laptop was originally running windows 8 (OEM version), which I then upgraded to windows 10. But I remember reading that by upgrading it, it has now the retail version. This laptop is also currently not working with my Microsoft account, but with my mom's.

Is it possible to activate windows on my new PC, using the old PC? And how do I do it?

Moving old Windows 10 PC to a new Windows 10 PC, how to transfer settings, program and files?

Hi,

To transfer files from your old laptop to your new one, you can use a Universal Serial Bus (USB) flash drive or a thumb drive. Follow the steps below:

• Insert the USB flash drive into a USB port of your laptop.
  
• Wait for the laptop to detect the USB drive.
• Open a window for the files that you want to transfer and another window for the USB drive.
  
• Select the files that you want to transfer, right-click and then click on
  Cut or Copy.
  
• On the destination window, right-click and select Paste.
  
• Make sure that files are completely transferred before removing the USB flash drive.
• Insert the USB into your new laptop.
• Access the files once the USB drive is detected.
• Repeat the same procedure on how you transferred or copied the files from your old laptop to the flash drive.

Let us know how it goes.
