Windows 10: Finding my windows license from a dead computer

I have an old dead hp laptop, with a windows 10 pro license, and my new pc came with windows 10 home pre-installed

I was wondering how to upgrade to the windows 10 pro license, since it had office 365 and some other useful features

The laptop is completely dead, CPU fried

transfer the license from a dead computer

Hello TerrenceBlunt,

My Name is Paul one of the Community Advisor and a Microsoft Consumer like you. I do understand that you wanted to transfer a License of a dead computer to another computer and first there are 2 type of license for Home Consumers. OEM and RETAIL. If your windows 7 is a OEM Type of License then its not transferable to another pc because the License is tied up to the motherboard when it was activated on the other hand Retail is Transferable to another computer.

You can Identify your Machine Old PC if it is OEM if you can still remember that it do have a preinstalled Windows 7 during the time that you bought it. Retail is whenever you buy the License Physically with a box and License Code..

I hope it make some clarification for you if you will be able to transfer the License or not.

Regards,

 

Transferring license from a dead computer to a working computer

Hi everyone

I would like to ask if i can transfer my old windows 10 license to a working computer. My old computer seems to be dead and all of my data in the hard drive isnt possible for recovery. So if ever possible, i want to transfer my windows license to a working
computer since that both my hard drive and the motherboard are fried. If so, how can i recover my windows 10 pro license to be able to register in a working computer. I got the reactivation license when i tried to change the motherboard that i brought and
it works after contacting microsoft support. The license is linked to my account so im wondering if it is possible.
