    Can I transfer windows to a new PC?


    I am building a new computer, and I'm planning to disassemble a relatively recent computer for parts. If I transfer the OS drive and the ram from the old computer, will windows work on the new computer?

    :)

    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.

    Transfer files (Pictures, Documents) from a Windows 7 PC to a Windows 10 PC

    I recently purchased a new laptop with windows 10. My old laptop has windows 7. Can anyone list the step-by-step instructions for transferring the data to the new machine? I understand that windows easy transfer is no longer an option for windows 10.
