    Clone Windows 10 without transferring license


    Our PCs each have its own retail Windows 10 Home license. All have Intel processor / board of various generations. I use same amount of the disk space for Windows on each of them regardless of how big each's hard drive is.


    What is the correct way to clone a disk to another PC without appearing to the activation server that I am trying to transfer the license?


    I want to clean install on all my PCs without having to wait for hours for Windows Update and redo all the settings on every one of them:


    1. Clean install on one PC

    2. Windows Update. Install a dozen software. Install a hundred patches. Change the wallpaper while at it...

    3. Clone the disk to all the other PCs.

    4. Each activates independently.

    :)

  3. 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 upgrade license

    The interesting question is that: the upgrade takes place before 29 of July. If I upgrade the PC (change the MB), and I transfer the Win 8.1 license to this new PC (cause 8.1 is retail FPP), will I be able to upgrade to Windows 10 for free? Or a upgrade license must be bought?
