    Move Activated Windows 10 from Parallels VM to different computer


    Hi, I have an activated W10 install in Parallels VM on my Macbook Pro. I'd like to remove the VM and use the license on another computer.

    If it matters, the VM was originally a Windows 7 install, and I did the in-place W10 upgrade.

    Any secret to doing this? Thanks!

    :)

    Moving windows 10 VM to a new computer

    I am running windows 10 as a VM under Parallels 12. I am moving to a new computer and want to know what I need to do, if anything, to deactivate and activate Windows 10. Since it is in a VM, I just copied the VM file to the new computer but do I need to
    do more?

    Thanks.

    Unable to activate Windows 10 in parallels

    I transferred a valid and activated copy of windows 10 (free upgrade from Windows 7) to Parallels on my Mac. The copy in Parallels though says it is not activated. How do I activate this VM?

    The original windows computer is now switched off and not used, but is a windows 7 virtual machine in Parallels on this Mac.
