    How to transfer a Windows 10 digital licence from a dead PC to a newly installed PC?


    An old dead PC had a digital licence for Windows 10 Pro. Today I newly installed Windows 10 Pro on a working PC. I used the Windows Activation Troubleshooter, clicked the link saying I recently changed hardware, and next clicked the link to see other devices linked to my Microsoft account. The Activation Troubleshooter says it can't reactivate Windows from these devices. But the web page for my Microsoft Account still shows both devices, my old dead one and the newly installed one. How can I transfer the digital licence?

    :)

  3. Windows Digital licence transfer

    Hi,

    hoping someone can help me. I have significantly upgraded my PC (almost everything apart from BD and case!) and have had to re-install Windows. The digital licence I had associated with the original PC will not install on my new PC and tells me it is
    invalid. From memory the old licence was associated to an old Windows 8.1 licence I bought many years ago.

    Is there anyway to utilise the digital licence. The only licence on my account I can use is a licence associated to a laptop that I actively use. Although the old PC is listed as have a digital licence.

    Any thoughts or help much appreciated

    Thanks
