    Can I transfere windows license twice?


    So i have a windows 11 license linked to my microsoft account, i recently upgraded my motherboard and transfered my license which worked fine. However, i had to replace the motherboard with another one and now it doesnt let me transfere it as it says it has already been used to activate windows. Do I have to unlink my account from the first motherboard so it works or do i need to buy a new one?

    :)

  2. Windows 10 license transfer

    Thanks Andre.

    i bought the license. My laptop was originally loaded with win 7 and was upgraded free couple of months.

    in this case, if i understand you correctly, i can transfer with below steps. Right.?

    let me buy my new laptop and try below.

    and to my question do you have an update.

    does OS upgrades if my activation key is changed.

    thanks

    Windows 10 license transfer

    There is no actual deactivation method.

    You can only transfer the license if its a retail license. If it came with the laptop you can't transfer it.

    You can first uninstall the key.

    Open Start, type: cmd

    Right click CMD

    Click Run as administrator

    At the command prompt, type:

    slmgr -upk

    Hit Enter

    Next, proceed to upgrade the new laptop:


    You might need to reactivate by chat support since the license was previously in use.
