    I bought a new laptop an year ago. Now I get the err that my windows license will expire soon. I've checked out some suggestions based on this and apparently I haveGeneric Volume License Key. I want to know, whether I'm supposed to have aRetail License if I bought a new laptop? or is it okay to have Generic Volume License Key.

    volume licensing

    what if I bought like hundreds of laptops and the product key is embedded from the motherboard, is that apply too to the volume licensing? or just the volume licensing only applies to the machine without embedded product key?

    Upgrade volume licensing to retail

    I bought a custom made pc installed with Windows 10 pro but it turn out to have volume licensing. Is it possible to change it to retail?

    If possible, how do I go about it and what do I have to purchase?

    Bought a new laptop. Is it supposed to have a Retail License or Generic Volume License Key?

    License transfer from OEM/Edu retail to new laptop

    My children (students) are in need of a newer laptop. I want to transfer the complete installation (system backup) of their current laptops to their new ones.

    I bought one laptop (laptop A) with a 'Win 10 RTM Core OEMBought a new laptop. Is it supposed to have a Retail License or Generic Volume License Key? :DM' license (Windows 10 Home).

    I want to transfer the system backup of laptop B ('Win 8.1 RTM Core OEMBought a new laptop. Is it supposed to have a Retail License or Generic Volume License Key? :DM' license which is upgraded to a 'Win 10 RTM Education Retail') to laptop A.

    And I want to transfer the system backup of laptop C ('Win 8 RTM Core OEMBought a new laptop. Is it supposed to have a Retail License or Generic Volume License Key? :DM' license which is also upgraded to a 'Win 10 RTM Education Retail') to laptop B.

    How can I perform the (re)activation or other license concerns with this transfer of the system backup?

    Or if the OEM product keys are tied to the original laptops, how do I change the OEM product key of laptop A after system backup recovery to it's original 'Win 10 RTM Core OEMBought a new laptop. Is it supposed to have a Retail License or Generic Volume License Key? :DM' and keep the 'Win 10 RTM Education Retail' upgrade ?
