    Transfer Win10 HOME Key (retail) to another PC after upgrading to PRO (retail)

    As the subject line states...

    I have 2 PCs. One with a HOME (retail) key and one with no key but is an older PC ... let say it currently has no OS. I want to upgrade this newer PC from HOME (retail) to PRO (retail). I have already retrieved the HOME key and saved into a text file. From
    my understanding, I go into System -> Change key and can put in the new PRO (retail) key to upgrade from HOME to PRO.

    Once I do that... can I now use the HOME (retail) key on the older PC? Again... I keep stressing (retail) in this email because I fully understand that OEM keys / upgrades are retained for the PC they came installed on and are not transferable. However,
    both my HOME and PRO version are retail keys.

    If the answer is YES ... please don't just say YES. Please provide the steps necessary to transfer the HOME key so I don't lose it accidentally.

    Thanks.

    Win 10 Pro retail license transfer product key

    I had a retail license of Windows 10 Pro (upgraded from a retail license of Windows 7 Professional years ago) on an HP PC that recently died. When the replacement (an LG PC) arrived, I transferred the Win 10 Pro image from the HP to the LG, using Macrium Reflect. However, the product key reported by the HP system before the transfer doesn't match the product key reported by the LG system after the transfer. Which product key is correct, and do I need to do something with Microsoft to ensure that its record of the license info is correct?
