  2. New computer - transfer old key

    Hi,

    The Windows 10 Pro upgrade would be tied to the old computer and is not transferable. I believe it will be necessary to purchase Windows 10 Pro.

    Try the following steps:

    To upgrade, select the Start button, then select Settings >
    Update & security > Activation.

    • If you have a digital license for Windows 10 Pro, and Windows 10 Home is currently activated on your device, select
      Go to Store and you'll be prompted to upgrade to Windows 10 Pro for free.
    • If you have a digital license for Windows 10 Pro, but Windows 10 Home isn't activated on your device, select
      Troubleshoot, and then follow the steps to upgrade to Windows 10 Pro.
    • If you don't have a digital license for Windows 10 Pro, Windows 10 Pro is available for purchase from the Store.
    Upgrade Windows 10 Home to Windows 10 Pro

    transfer purchased Windows Pro from old to new laptop

    Hi Karen, the version of Windows 10 Pro, did you purchase it separately to the old laptop (Retail Version) or did it come pre-installed on the old laptop (OEM version)

    If the Windows 10 Pro is an OEM copy it does not have transfer rights

    If it is a Retail copy, do you still have the product key or is it linked to your Microsoft account?

    Transfering Windows Pro

    I purchased a new computer which came with Windows 10 Regular. My old computer had Windows 10 Pro and I gave the computer to my spouse. She has no need for Pro features, but I do. How can I transfer the Pro version to my new computer accepting that the
    old computer will revert to the regular Windows 10.
