    Forgot to deactivate old computer's product key before transferring the product key to another computer

    Hi, I've purchased a free Windows 10 Education license from my university a year ago. Lately I've bought a new computer that came with Windows 10 Home pre-installed. I've tried to transfer my win10 education product key to this new computer
    but I've forgot to deactivate the key at my old computer before traded it in, and now my new computer is in notification mode. Is there any alternative besides purchasing another education license?

    The old device is not in use by anybody and unfortunately the edu product key is still installed on it, and the device is not with me.

    Is there any way that can remotely transfer the product key to my new computer without accessing the old computer?

    Forgot to deactivate old computer's product key before transferring the product key to another computer

    Hi JL0xd,

    Deactivating a Product Key on a system, does not really do anything, with regards to licencing . ..

    Is that old PC in use by someone else?

    If it is, that product key will stay with tha device, unless your installed a different Edition *home Pro . . etc.) before parting with it

    If that device is no longer in use, you can just use your Product Key on the new PC:

    Have that product key at hand and contact Microsoft Support and ask them to help you re-activate your Windows 10

    Choose a local Phone Number:
