  1. can i transfer windows10 pro licence to new computer running windows 11?


    I have treated myself to a new PC running Windows 11 home. My previous computer had Windows 10 pro which is too old for Windows 11I need the remote access part of the pro package but Windows 11 home does not have it. So, I was thinking, can I transfer my old licence to the new computer and vice versa?

    :)

    Transferring two licences between three computers

    I have two windows 10 licences, one used on computer that doesn't work anymore and another on lap top in use. I'm buying a new computer and I would like to move licence I have on lap top, as it's pro version, to new computer and put licence from not working
    computer to lap top.

    To explain in more detail:

    Current situation:

    • Lap top - Windows 10 pro licence, upgraded from windows 8.1. To my knowledge it's not OEM. I have reinstalled system from complete format few times on this device with this licence. I still have product key from 8.1.
    • Not working computer - Windows 10 home licence, upgraded from windows 7. For sure not OEM. I have reinstalled system from complete format few times on this device with this licence. I still have product key from 7 and access to hard drive windows is installed
      on.
    • New computer - Has no licence.

    What I want to achieve:

    • New computer - Windows 10 pro
    • Lap top - Windows 10 home

    I read this
    article
    on how to transfer licence, but I'm not exactly sure how to proceed in my case.

    Also how would it be best to install Windows 10, I only know how to get files from installation media, but I'm under impression that is bound to licence and computer?

    Transfer Windows 10 Licence from Old/Dead Computer to New Computer

    Depends on the licence you have. How did you get your Windows 10 licence, was it via the free upgrade and was the previous system installed by the manufacturer = OEM.

    OEM licences cannot be transferred, generally but recent posts suggest MS is allowing some transfers.

    Retail boxed licence can be transferred to a new device.

    New motherboard = new device.
