    Issues with transfer of W10 license to upgraded PC


    I have recently built a new PC to meet the needs of W11. I am trying to transfer my full retail W10 license. Activation troubleshooter continually comes back with "Our servers are busy. Try later." My "new" PC and my "Old" PC are both using my MS Account login, but under "Devices" I don't see my new PC. And of course, the "Register Device" button only accepts commercial Microsoft products by Serial Number; I can see no way to say "Hey, this PC I'm signed in on - can you register this?" Last time I did this, I had the same problem until after some time days IIRC the previously invisible n

  3. Transfer W8-upgraded OEM license after W10 update

    Hello Thule,

    Thank you for contacting Microsoft Community.

    • From which version you Upgrade your PC to Windows 10?
    • Is it from Windows 7 or Windows 8?
    • Which Product key or License key you need to transfer and to which PC you need this transfer require?

    Let me confirm that, starting with the November update, Windows 10 (Version 1511) can be activated using some Windows 7,
    Windows 8, and Windows 8.1 product keys.

    Give us clear description about the issue to analyze and assist you better.

    How to transfer Windows 10 license to different PC and MS account

    Hi Everyone, I need to upgrade from Windows 7 to 10 and I think I may be able to do it via an unused Win 10 gaming PC that is around the house. It belonged to another member of the family. I have reset the unused PC and done little else with it. I have gathered the following details:
    • Windows 10 Home product key
    • MS account user-id and password
    • confirmation that the license is a digital license
    • It is: Installed from 'Full Packaged Product' media
    Most of the advice I see in online searches is for people swapping their own Win 10 license to a different PC. I have seen some advice online that may be relevant e.g. my kind of transfer is not just a matter of installing and entering the Win 10 product key. Does anyone have advice or know of links to steps for this kind of a transfer? Thank you -------------------------- Windows 7 Professional Version 6.1 (Build 7601: Service Pack 1) Sorry but I did not get the Windows 10 Home version number.
