    Windows 10 Professional compatibility with Windows 7 Pro Application programs and transfer over to new PC

    Hello,

    I recently purchased a new computer with Windows 10 Professional. My current Windows 7 Professional PC has everything I currently use on a daily basis.
    I need to transfer ALL software programs and data over from Windows 7 Pro PC to my newly purchased Windows 10 Professional PC operating system. What best method does Microsoft recommend to check compatibility of Windows 7 Pro application software
    programs with Windows 10 Pro operating system and what best transfer method should I use to transfer everything over from Windows 7 Pro PC to new PC with Windows 10 Professional?? Please advise.

    In years past, Microsoft had Windows Easy Transfer software program that checked Windows XP application software programs compatibility with Windows 7 Pro operating system before all programs and data were transferred over to Windows 7 Pro PC. I did
    have some Windows XP software application programs that did not function within the Window 7 Pro operating system.
    Please advise on Windows 7 Pro application programs and data transfer to new PC with Windows 10 Pro operating system.

    Mark

    transfer windows 10 to new pc?

    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.

    If its a retail license, learn how to reactivate:
