    Can I transfer my windows to a new pc?


    Hey so I bought a new pc with no os, and instead of waiting for the 3.5gb of the media creation tool to download (its gonna take me around 3 hours and gonna ruin my evening, slow internet...) I thought if I could transfer an existing windows files to boot from my usb (some kind of a tweak). I tried to google but everything is about the licence not the actual os. Thanks.

    EDIT: I mean copy the files not transfer as in remove it from the first pc

    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:
