Windows 10: Can I transfer back after transferring to a new computer?

I have a Dell computer that came with a retail license and I'm building a new computer. I was wondering if I transfer my license to the new computer could I transfer it back to the dell computer just in case something happens like have to send back some parts or something. Bottom line: can a license ve transferred back after being transferred to another computer.

Transferring a cpu

Hey

I have a intel core i7 2600k on a Asus p8 H67-M Pro (which was temporary)

now I would like to transfer my CPU to my new motherboard ASUS Z77 Sabertooth.

my questions:
1) Is this possible, I know that it can be done but I just want to be 100%
2) if it is possible, can you explain me how it can be done step by step, or send me somewhere where I can find out
3) also I think I need to take off old thermal paste and add a new layer is this advised/true?

any help would be appreciated

 

Is the free upgarde transferable? I think not.

Hi Kari,
Can you confirm that the computer at step 5 (I numbered your list *Wink ) had never had an activated Insider build (especially not 10240)?

I'm wondering if it was possible that the second machine activated because the activation servers recognised the hardware from an earlier activation, and not because of the method you used to transfer?

 

USB Transfer to Laptop

Hello Judy,

I suggest you to copy all the files to a flash drive from the laptop.
You may create a new folder on your desktop and name that folder as per your choice.

• 
  Perform the steps to transfer the files from laptop to desktop.
  
• 
  Plug in the flash drive and wait for it to get detected.
  
• 
  Now, open the flash drive and Right Click on the files that you want to transfer and select “Copy”.
  
• 
  Now, open the folder on desktop and Right Click on an empty space in the folder and select “Paste”.
  
• 
  Similarly, you can transfer all other files.
  

As per the file size you can also use an external drive instead of a flash drive and transfer the data.
