Windows 10: how could I transfer my windows 10 home licence to my new computer that has windows 11

hi, I was wondering , if possible I would prefer to keep the data on my new pc, old pc cant update to windows 11, old pc had a very slow HDD and new pc has an SSD, old licence is indeed retail and should no longer be linked to any Microsoft account.

Transfer Windows 10 Licence from Old/Dead Computer to New Computer

Depends on the licence you have. How did you get your Windows 10 licence, was it via the free upgrade and was the previous system installed by the manufacturer = OEM.

OEM licences cannot be transferred, generally but recent posts suggest MS is allowing some transfers.

Retail boxed licence can be transferred to a new device.

New motherboard = new device.

 

Windows 10 Tweaks

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK

can i transfer windows10 pro licence to new computer running windows 11?

I have treated myself to a new PC running Windows 11 home. My previous computer had Windows 10 pro which is too old for Windows 11

I need the remote access part of the pro package but Windows 11 home does not have it. So, I was thinking, can I transfer my old licence to the new computer and vice versa?
