  2. Being told that my new PC is not compatible with Windows 11

    Yes, TPM and Secure Boot are enabled; and my PC meets all of the minimum system requirements for upgrade to Windows 11;

    except the CPU is not listed as compatible.

    This computer is quite new.

    Whilst it may be the case that every new PC is compatible with Windows 11; why should I have to buy a new computer when there is nothing wrong with the present one?

    It has a legitimate copy of Microsoft Windows 10 Professional, Activated with a Retail Digital Licence, bought from the Microsoft APP Store.

    I bought my PC and copy of Microsoft Windows 10 thinking that I was covered for all future upgrades.

    Now, I learn that I am not covered for future upgrades because the CPU is not compatible with Windows 11.

    Who is to say that If I buy a new computer, with Windows 11, that the CPU on that one may not qualify for an

    upgrade to the next version of Windows?

  3. install new windows 10 on new computer

    Linking is only part of the store and is more likely to working if its a retail license.

    It depends on how Windows 10 was originally configured on your computer.

    If its a full retail store bought license online or offline, it is transferable to a new computer or motherboard.

    If its the free upgrade from a retail store bought Windows 7 or Windows 8 license, it is transferable to a new computer or motherboard.

    If its the free upgrade from a OEM preinstalled Windows 7 or Windows 8 license, it is NOT transferable to a new computer or motherboard.

    Learn more about transferring your license:

    Transfer Windows 11 Pro key to a new computer

    Hi,

    I bought a PC with Windows 11 Home preinstalled (OEM key I guess). I then upgraded to Windows 11 Pro from the Microsoft Store.

    That PC is getting old so I have bought a new PC with Windows 11 Home preinstalled. Is it possible to transfer the Windows 11 Pro key that I bought earlier to the new computer? I don´t get that option when I open the Microsoft Store. It tells me to buy a new key.

    I have tried to unregister the key in the old PC.

    slmgr /upk

    slmg /cpky

    Thanks,
