    Digital License purchased in 2015, new computer needs that Key


    Hello all.

    I purchased Windows back in 2015 for my Laptop DV7. I just built a new PC and am trying to use the Windows 10 from my laptop onto the new PC.

    It's a Digital License. My laptop doesn't show any of the existing key numbers/letters. Is there a way to deactivate that Key and install on my PC or will I have to buy Windows 10 all over again?
    Currently Windows is running on my PC but it is not activated.

    Please advise.

    Thank you

    :)

    How to move digital license for windows 10 to new computer

    I have a digital license that was purchased retail. It was purchased separately from the computer. It did not come with the computer. It was upgraded for free from windows 7. I now have a new computer. How can I move my digital license to the new computer?

    How to move digital license for windows 10 to new computer

    Actually you do have a license key. when you upgraded to Windows 10 you would have been assigned a digital license key that is embedded into the motherboard of the computer. That is part of the reason why it is important to follow all of the steps in the
    guide above because the first thing it has you do is deactivate the license key on the current computer and Link the license key to your Microsoft account so that it can then be used to activate Windows 10 on the new computer.

    Digital License after transfer license to new computer

    Uninstalling a product key does not deactivate the license, there is actually no deactivation method. You would still need to contact support to actually invalidate the license on the old machine, so it can reactivate on the new machine.

    Transferring the license is a step by step process.

    First, you either remove the license from the machine by formatting it.

    Install it on the new machine.

    Contact chat support, then reactivate.

    Where Digital license is handy is when you are still using the machine and reinstall Windows 10 and need to reactivate the license after a significant hardware change, such as a hard disk.
