    Moving a Win Pro license to another account


    My church bought a PC with Win10 Home on it for use in its sanctuary. They then wanted to upgrade it to Win10 Pro, so I purchased the upgrade using my own personal MSFT account. I'd now like to move this license over to an account that the church owns so that its IT staff can manage it without my involvement. Is this possible and if so, how does one do it?

    :)

    Move Win 10 Pro license

    A while ago I purchased a Win 10 Pro upgrade license from the Win store (I have the order number) which I loaded on a Win 10 Home machine. Now I would like to move only the Pro part to a new Win 10 Home machine leaving the original machine with a Win 10
    Home license and my new computer with a Pro license. Of course both computers have OEM licenses, no product number stickers, and I have no install disks.

    Any help most appreciated.

    Thanks

    How to move Win 7 license over to a new rig?

    AFAIK, OEM licenses will have a Product ID that usually contain "OEM" within it - it can be found under Control Panel > System > Windows Activation (usually).
