  1. is my windows 10 license on laptop transferrable?


    i currently have a second hand laptop which was updated from windows 7 to 10 few months ago so now theres a digital license linked to my microsoft account.This laptop was a gift from someone and now i m getting a custom built pc for myself and if possible i would prefer transferring my license from this device to that one.Usually laptops come with oem license but on checking my license type using cmd command it says that my license belongs to retail channel,so is my win 10 digital license transferrable or am i to get a new one?

    :)

    Windows 10 upgrade license

    Hello guys,

    I have 1 license of WIndows 8.1 FPP/retail license. I want to upgrade to WIndows 10, but I one thing is unclear to me.
    If I upgrade, will WIndows 10 license be retail or it will "turn" into some sort of OEM license?

    I ask this because I upgrade my PC, you know, more memory, replace HDD, and I intend to upgrade the MB and CPU to Kaby Lake platform sometime in the future, (and of course sell the replaced hardware)
    This thing is not clearly mentioned anywhere.

    Thank you.

    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

    Window 10 License Transfer

    Hi Kelvin11,

    I'm Stefano an Independent Advisor, here to help you.

    If Windows comes preinstalled on your laptop, I think your license is an OEM one, so it isn't transferrable. You can check if your license is an OEM one, following this procedure:

    1. Type "cmd" in windows search bar

    2. Right click on "Command Prompt"

    3. Select "Run as Administrator"

    4. Type "slmgr /dlv" without quote and press ENTER

    Reade the uppercase word on Description line. If it is OEM your license isn't transferrable, if it is RETAIL, you can transfer the license.

    If you need to buy a new license, however, I suggest you to buy it directly from Microsoft Store, that's the safest way to buy a proper license.
