  1. Transfer windows 10 license to rebuilt computer


    The 10 year old computer, which has a Vista product key, I was using has been rebuilt. Vista had been up graded to Windows 7 and then to Windows 10. During the rebuild process I had to reformat my hard drive which caused the license to disappear.



    When I enter the Vista product key it says it is no good. Since I was using Windows 10 I thought that license would be in my MS account.

    My MS account now shows the rebuild computer and the old broken computer.




    How can I transfer the license to my rebuilt computer?

    :)

    Windows 10 license transfer

    Thanks Andre.

    i bought the license. My laptop was originally loaded with win 7 and was upgraded free couple of months.

    in this case, if i understand you correctly, i can transfer with below steps. Right.?

    let me buy my new laptop and try below.

    and to my question do you have an update.

    does OS upgrades if my activation key is changed.

    thanks
