    How To Give Computer/Windows License To My Son


    Hi All


    I have just built myself a new computer with a new Windows 10 License. My old computer is a pretty decent Core i7-4770 computer which I would like to give to my son.


    Reformatting and clean installing Windows is not my problem. My problem is I do not know how to disassociate the Windows 10 Pro license key from my Microsoft account so that my son can use his Microsoft account to log into the computer. My license is not an OEM or at least I don't think so. It was purchased as a Windows 8 license from Microsoft directly when they offered a special price when Windows 8 was released. It has since been upgraded regularly to the latest and greatest Windows available.


    Could someone please help me understand how to disassociate the license key from my Microsoft Account so that my son can "take over" the license?


    Thanking everyone in advance for any assistance provided.


    Kind regards

    :)

    Hi Debbie,

    It is possible that your son is unable to open his laptop while updating due to a corrupted or incomplete installation. To assist you better, we'd like to gather more information:

    • Is your son, getting an error message when he tried to turn on his laptop?
    • When he tried to open his laptop, are you able to check if the power light stays on?
    • Are you seeing black screen/blank screen when you tried to turn on his laptop?
    • What troubleshooting steps has your son done so far to resolve it?

    Meanwhile, if you're seeing a blank screen/black screen, we suggest that you follow the steps in this
    article on how to troubleshoot black screen errors. You can choose which best describes your issue.

    Keep us posted if you need additional help.

    I can not accept the changed licensing agreement for my son.

    Hello THDx10,



    Thanks for your post.



    I understand that you can not accept terms and conditions for your son account.

    I suggest that you login Xbox.com with your account and with your son's account as well.

    Does your son under 18?

    Did you follow the steps as proposed in this link below?

    How To Give Computer/Windows License To My Son

    Transfer Windows 10 license to another computer.

    Hi,



    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



    Please note that one license key is valid only for one hardware. However you can try the steps mentioned below to check if that helps. Make sure that you have the 25-alpha numeric product key (Retail version). Here are some steps that you can follow:



    Step 1: Uninstall the key from your Mac (Bootcamp). To uninstall the license key, follow the steps mentioned bellow:

    1. Open command prompt (search CMD on start menu) and run it as administrator.
    2. Then type: slmgr /upk
    3. The following command will uninstall the product key from your Bootcamp partition.

    Step 2: Install the product key on new Computer.

    1. Open Run (Windows Key + R) and then type: SLUI 3
    2. You will be prompted to enter the product key.
    3. Please type the product key and try to activate it.

    Step 3: If step 2 does not work, then you will need to install the product key manually and perform phone activation.

    1. Open Command prompt once again and run it administrator.
    2. Then type: slmgr /ipk XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX

      Note: replace XXXXX with the product key.
    3. Once you receive a confirmation prompt that the product key has been installed.
    4. Close the Command prompt Window.
    5. Now open Run (Windows Key + R) and type SLUI 4.
    6. Then choose your country and click on Next and follow the on screen instructions.

    Hope this helps.
