  1. Do I have to buy a new license?


    A couple years ago I bought a Lenovo laptop with Windows 10 Home pre-installed. I'm currently building a PC. Do I have to buy a new license, or can I somehow transfer the license to my new computer?

    Buying a Windows Server License

    Server 2016 is not yet for sale. You can, however, buy Server 2012 and 2012R2 from various resellers, although most "official" resellers are likely out of stock since MS is in the middle of transitioning from 2012 to 2016.

    Here's some resellers that sell through Amazon:

    Most people don't buy Windows Server at retail, they tend to buy it through volume licensing, which you can still get.

    Buying a Windows Server License

    If you get the server standard do you have to buy this license as well?

    Amazon.com: Microsoft Windows Server 2012 OEM - CAL (1 User): Software

    Like the OP I was looking into pricing and couldn't figure it out. I was considering server to run VMs (because of dedup). I'm running Server 2016 TP5 at the moment and the saving from dedup are excellent. It seems it might be cheaper to spend the money on disk though.

    what video card would you go with

    Nice *Wink Do I have to buy a new license? ;). I look at it like this. You have 90 days to do the Step-up. If you buy it today..

    • That's May 12thish that you have be the ability to do the step up...
    • But, in that 90 days, you may have the chance to get the 4870x2 down to a price worth getting.
    • Or, Just buy one of the new cards...
    3 possibilities in one little buy.
